OF 1 COR. 15-58a AND THE FAITH OF OUR FATHERS
(Please listen to the 23rd Episode of the HymnPreaching Podcast inspired by the hymn, FAITH OF OUR FATHERS).
“. . . We read their stories, we reflect on their lives and our hearts beat high with joy. We now pray for grace. Please grant us the grace to walk with You in faith so much so that we will be steadfast and immovable, and our faith will be crowned with the glory of Your power. . .”
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!
1. Refrain:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
2. Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We all shall then be truly free.
3. 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.
(FREDRICK W. FABER)
