467 先賢之信 Faith of Our Fathers

1.    先賢之信，萬世永存，火中不滅，刀下猶生；

       我眾思念先賢聖蹟，心中亦覺踴躍興奮。

2.    先賢之信，雖進牢獄，為求自由，身體被困；

       後人為主犧牲捨命，從容就義，見証輝煌。

3.    先賢之信，為愛犧牲，我願兼愛仇敵朋友，

       專用溫柔、良善生活，竭盡所能，廣宣此信。

副歌：先賢之信，聖潔堅貞，我願到死堅守此信。

Faith of our fathers

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!

Refrain:

Faith of our fathers, holy faith!

We will be true to thee till death.

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.
