In spite of dungeon, fire and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy
When e’er we hear that glorious word!
Refrain:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
2 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 word and virtuous life. [Refrain]
3 Faith of our fathers! Mary's prayer
Shall keep our country close to thee;
And through the truth that comes from God
Mankind shall prosper and be free. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
