- Faith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword:
Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy,
Whenever we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers! Holy Faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
- Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free:
How sweet would be their children’s fate,
If they, like them, could die for thee!
Faith of our fathers! Holy Faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
- Faith of our fathers, Mary’s prayers,
Shall win our country back to thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
Nigeria shall indeed be free.
Faith of our fathers! Holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
- 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;
Faith of our fathers! Holy Faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
