Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart and conscience free; And blest would be their children’s fate, If they, like them should die for thee: Faith of our fathers! holy faith! We will be true to thee till death!

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. Faith of our fathers! holy faith! We will be true to thee till death!
This is an highly inspirational song which leaves me thinking. These old missionaries were proud to showcase the level of faith displayed by their forefathers. What virtues are we in this present generation hope to leave behind, such that our own children too can proudly sing of long after we are gone? Unfortunately we are busy chasing the riches of this world, not mindful of the fact that such things are merely temporal.
Frederick Faber felt the new religious movements that seemed so popular in his day were dangerous. He felt there was too much emphasis on the experience of the moment. After 3 years as an Anglican minister, he left that church and joined the Roman Catholic church. He appreciated the continuity with the past that he found there, and he respected the martyrs who had given their lives for Christ. But as a Roman Catholic, he missed the singing he had enjoyed as an Anglican. So he wrote hymns to fill the void. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton
The FAITH of our FATHERS OF OLD is what Christ will be looking for at His Second Coming. Let him that thinketh he stand take heed lest he fall. Having done all to stand, STAND therefore in FAITH.
It is really time now for all people of whatever tribe, nation, creed etc. to return to the Faith our Fathers passed on to us from the time Christ descended into hell and conquered hell. The Apostles lived that Faith. The world today need to return to that faith.
Every generation faces hardship and a choice to hold on to the hope we have in Christ and the power and comfort of His word. Faith of our Fathers describes that steadfast faith that will not grow cold. This hymn is so meaningful to me. I remember my great aunt Bess singing this hymn often while working on the farm. I wonder what hardships her life faced that she clung to it so dearly.
Thanks for the tune of this song. I am a fundamentalist Christian and absolutely pray and believe the world can never choke the living word. Christ lives and our faith in Him must live and be shared to the dying world. It is the only cure to sin and satanism; only His word for spiritual revolution; let's share it and live by it.
Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for the historical background of this song. Reading the lyrics had me wondering about that. It will add special perspective when I play this soulful song on the piano for special occasions. Much obliged. If anyone has additional information about the melody, please share that, too.
This is a very inspirational hymn; makes me feel proud on the way early Christians went through persecutions for their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. May we who live in today's world with so much freedom take inspiration fom them and live a life worthy of being called a true Christian. Praise Jesus!
