#813: Faith of Our Fathers

[lutheranhymns]

So this is another version of 812; same music, but different verses. It starts with the same verse about "faith of our fathers," but then instead of the violent imagery of "martyrs chained in prisons dark" or another verse about fathers, we get mothers, sisters and brothers, and the expansive "faith born of God." And technically, since the second-to-last line is different in every verse, it might not really count as a refrain anymore?

By the way, it turns out that I already had a "bass echoes" tag, so I went through and caught up with that (even when the "echo" part is not in the bass). It's a good mix of Swahili/Hebrew/African American/Welsh music, too!
