Faith in Our Fathers Songtext
von Bing Crosby

Faith of our fathers, living still
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword
Oh, 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 ′til 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 ′til 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 'til death
