'Faith Of Our Fathers', a popular Christian Hymn written by Frederick William Faber, 1814 –1863, in memory of the Catholic martyrs from the time of the establishment of the Church of England by Henry VIII and Elizabeth. Music is by Henri F. Hemy, 1818–1888; Related scripture Hebrews 11:6 from the Holy Bible. 'And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him'. Played on the Organ/Keyboards by me (Sanjeeb Sircar), (two verses).
Text:
1 Faith of the martyrs, living still
in spite of dungeon, fire, and sword;
oh, how our hearts beat high with joy
whene’er we hear that glorious word!

Refrain:
Faith of the martyrs, holy faith,
we will be true to thee till death.

2 The martyrs chained in prison cells
were still in heart and conscience free,
and bless’d would be their children’s fate
if they, like them, should die for thee! [Refrain]

3 Faith of the martyrs, we will love
both friend and foe in all our strife,
and preach thee, too, as love knows how,
by saving word and faithful life! [Refrain]
