Faith of Our Fathers

 

Faith of Our Fathers

Many of our forefathers had a faith in God that we can emulate. Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son for God. Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den because of his faith. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace because of their faith. The Bible is filled with many people, men and women alike that put God first in their life and kept their faith until their death. Praise God for His word and the many examples it has laid out for us.

Lyrics by Frederick W. Faber, arranged by Henri F. Hemy

“Faith of our fathers! Living still in spite of dungeon, fire and sword; O how our hearts beat high with joy whenever we hear that glorious word! Faith of our Fathers! Holy faith! We will be true to thee till death!

Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, were still in heart and conscience free; How sweet would be their children’s fate, if they, like them, could die for thee! Faith of our fathers! Holy faith! We will be true to thee till death!

Faith of our fathers, we will strive to win all nations unto thee! And through the truth that comes from God mankind shall then indeed be free; Faith of our fathers! Holy faith! We will be true to thee till death!

Faith of our fathers! We will love both friend and foe in all our strife, and preach thee, too, as love knows how, by kindly words and virtuous life; Faith of our Fathers! Holy faith! We will be true to thee till death!
