Faith of Our Brothers

Faith of our bro­thers

suf­fer­ing sore

Enduring pri­son

fa­mine

and sword

O Ho­ly Spir­it

give com­fort

we pray

May they this day find strength in Thy Word.

Faith of our bro­thers

ho­ly faith

May they be true to thee till death!

Tortured and killed for Thy dear name

Lord

give them grace to count all but loss

May they hold stead­fast to the end

Sharing the suf­fer­ings of the cross.

Faith of our bro­thers

ho­ly faith

May they be true to thee till death!

Our bro­thers

chained in pri­sons dark

Are still in heart and con­science free

O may they know thy deep

sweet peace

Fill them with joy for all to see.

Faith of our bro­thers

ho­ly faith

May they be true to thee till death!

Faith of our bro­thers! May they love

Both friend and foe in all their strife

And preach Thee too

as love knows how

By kind­ly words and vir­tu­ous life.

Faith of our bro­thers

ho­ly faith

May they be true to thee till death!

And Lord

may we be rea­dy too

To give our lives

if need­ed

for Thee

May we be strong in Thy great strength

And live each day

com­mit­ted to Thee.

Faith of all bro­thers

ho­ly faith

May we be true to thee till death!
