Faith of Our Mothers

Faith of our mo­thers

liv­ing still

In cra­dle song and bed­time pray­er;

In nur­se­ry lore and fire­side love

Thy pre­sence still per­vades the air:

Faith of our mo­thers

liv­ing faith!

We will be true to thee to death.

Faith of our mo­thers

lov­ing faith

Fount of our child­hood’s trust and grace

Oh

may thy con­se­cra­tion prove

Source of a fin­er

nob­ler race:

Faith of our mo­thers

lov­ing 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

Is truth be­yond our stum­bling 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.
