Making my sorrowful spirit to sing.

Fair is the moonshine,

Fairer the sunlight

Than all the starry celestial host;

Jesus shines brighter,

Jesus shines purer

Than all the angels that heaven can boast.

faith of our fathers.

"Fight the good fight of faith."

1. FAITH of our Fathers, living still

In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword!
Oh how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear that glorious word.

Faith of our Fathers! Holy Faith!
We will be true to Thee till death.
2. 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, &c.

3. Faith of our Fathers! Faith and Prayer
Shall keep our country fast to Thee,
And through the truth that comes from God
Oh, we shall prosper and be free.

Faith of our Fathers, &c.

4. Faith of our Fathers! we will love

Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach Thee too as Faith knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life.

Faith of our Fathers, &c. F. W. FABER.

Amen.
