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.
(Рефрен)
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.
(Рефрен)
