Faith of our mothers, living still
In cradle song and bedtime prayer;
In nursery lore and fireside love,
Thy presence still pervades the air;

Refrain
Faith of our mothers, living faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

Faith of our mothers, loving faith,
Fount of our childhood's Trusting and grace,
Oh, may thy consecration prove
Source of a finer, nobler race:

Faith of our mothers, guiding faith,
For youthful longing, youthful doubt,
How blurred or vision, blind our way,
Thy providential care without;

Faith of our mothers, name="descfaith,
In truth beyond our stumbling creeds,
Still serve the home and save the Church,
And breathe thy spirit thro' our deeds:
