1. Believe not those who say The upward path is smooth,

In faith and trust to follow Him Whose lot was low-ly too.

1. Faith of our fathers, liv

ing still, In spite of dun-geons, fire and sword,

O how our hearts beat high with joy, Whene'er we hear that glo- rious word!

9:3

Faith of our fathers, holy faith, We will be true to thee till death. A - MEN.

2 Faith of our fathers, faith and prayer
Have kept our country brave and free,
And through the ruth that comes from God,
Her children have true liberty!

Faith of our fathers; holy faith,
We will be true to the till death.

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;

Faith of our fathers, holy faith,
We will be true to thee till death.

2 Our days of darkness we may bear,

Strong in a Father's love,

Leaning on His almighty arm,

And fixed our hopes above.

4 To duty firm, to conscience true,
However tried and pressed,

In God's clear sight high work we do,
If we but do our best.

3 Our lives enriched with gentle thoughts 5 Thus may we make the lowliest lot

And loving deeds may be,

A stream that still the nobler grows

The nearer to the sea.

With rays of glory bright:

Thus may we turn a crown of thorns

Into a crown of light.

1. Once to ev'ry man and nation Comes the mo-ment to de - cide;

In the strife of truth and false-hood, For the good or e- vil side.

And the choice goes by fior-ev- er, 'Twixt that darkness and that light. A-MEN.

Not kings and lords, but na tions! Not thrones and crowns, but men!

Flow'rs of Thy heart, O God, are they; Let them not pass, like weeds, a

be Guided and strengthened and up-held by Thee. A-MEN.

2 We are of Thee, the children of Thy love.
The brothers of Thy well-beloved Son;
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove

Into our hearts that we may be as one,

As one with Thee, to whom we ever tend;

As one with Him, our Brother and our Friend.
