Our founders' faith, we'll sing of thee

Our founders' faith, we'll sing of thee, Dear faith, which still we cherish: Nor may their children's children see That faith decay and perish. We may not think our founders' thought; Their creeds our lips may alter; But in the faith they dearly bought Our hearts shall never falter. Oh, may that faith our hearts inspire To earnest thought and labour, That we may share its heavenly fire With every friend and neighbour: This faith in God, in humankind, This faith in truth and beauty, In freedom's might, and reason's right, And all-controlling duty! W. G. Tarrant Music: Dominus Regit Me, 87.87.(iambic)
