<p>Faith of our fathers, living still,<br>

In spite of dungeon, fire and sword;<br>

O how our hearts beat high with joy<br>

Whenever we hear that glorious Word!</p>

<p class="refrain">Faith of our fathers, holy faith!<br>
|
|
We will be true to thee till death.</p>
|
|
<p>Faith of our fathers, we will strive<br>
|
|
To win all nations unto Thee;<br>
|

And through the truth that comes from God,<br>
|
|
We all shall then be truly free.</p>

<p>Faith of our fathers, we will love<br>

And preach Thee, too, as love knows how<br>

By kindly words and virtuous life.</p>

<p>Faith of our fathers, Mary’s prayers<br>

England shall then indeed be free.</p>
