- Verse 1
- 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 till death.
- Verse 2
- 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.
- Verse 3
- 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.
- Verse 4
- Faith of our mothers, Christian faith,
- In 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.
