Faith of our mothers, living yet in cradle song and bedtime prayer, In nurs'ry love and fireside love, thy presence still pervades the air: Faith of our mothers, living faith, we will be true to thee till death. Faith of our mothers, lavish faith, The fount of childhood's trust and grace, O may thy consecration prove the well-spring of a nobler race: Faith of our mothers, lavish faith, we will be true to thee till death. |
Faith of our mothers, guiding faith, for youthful longing--youthful doubt,
How blurred our vision, blind our way, thy providential care without:
Faith of our mothers, guiding faith, we will be true to thee till death.
Faith of our mothers, Christian faith, in truth beyond our man-made creeds,
Still serve the home and save the church, and breathe thy spirit through our deeds:
Faith of our mothers, Christian faith, we will be true to thee till death.
