Faith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword;
Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious Word!
Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We all shall then be truly free.
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.
I want this to be burning in my heart always!
We get to rejoice that Daddy now is getting some fellowship of his dreams, with the fathers of faith throughout time!... and best of all our precious redeeming Heavenly Father, face to face!
Love,
Hi Charity,
ReplyDeleteThe old hymns are truly inspiring. I have come to appreciate them as I have grown older.
It is a comfort to know that heaven is before us.
Love you!
Hope
