Faith of our fathers, living still

This hymn by Fr. Faber stirs deep emotions in me. He was a convert from Anglicanism into the Roman Catholic Church and became a priest in 1847. This hymn reminds me of my Irish ancestors who suffered for the Faith. May their souls rest in peace!!

Faith of our fathers still holds true till the end. My firm conviction and believe in these lyrics.

Great encouragement for us to continue on the same path of Faith. We can never go back. It is already too late. We will transform people. Amen

The hymn is really a blessing

The song came straight to me after my husband and I finished our morning prayers, we will be true to this Christian faith till the end , and we will spread this good news that was brought to us through great sacrifice , torture and death. AMEN

My father loved this hymn.

This an inspiration song, its renew my faith in Jesus Christ every day

This hymn reminds me everyday the labours of our forefathers in faith just to retain the gospel and also to bring it down to us in this part of the world.

And I promise that the gospel will not die in my own generation.

I recently read Faith of Our Fathers by Stauffer, The novel Martys of the Catacombs, Evidence Not Seen by Darlene Rose a missionary married a few months was separated from her husband both placed in Labor camps in inhumane treatment yet through the absolute worse, her torturing commander of the camp was miraculously spared his life and life sentence from war crimes and served Christ as to her witness.

These books took me to a different understanding then when I sang these songs as a child.

I followed real people to the burning stakes, the arenas with animals and the sword that removed their head from their bodies where their heart lies.

As I write this I see the need to humbly ask the Lord to help separate my “head” from my “heart” to quicker follow , and to quicker lay my life down for the sake of the brethren, the sheep and the future souls.

This song gives me the prove that faith should be the first priority of every Christian.
