Frederick William Faber

“ 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! &c.
Faith of our Fathers! guile and force
⁠To do thee bitter wrong unite ”

“ Thy gifts are strewn upon my way,
⁠Like sands upon the great sea-shore
Thongh poverty and work and woe
⁠The masters of my life may be;
In darkest hours, who does not know
⁠That all is light with love of thee? ”

“ Mary's prayers
⁠Shall keep our country fast to thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
⁠Oh, we shall prosper and be free.
⁠Faith of our Fathers! &c.
Faith of our Fathers! we will love
⁠Both friend and foe in all our strife ”
