May 14, 2017 (Sunday) Mothers Day
If you know how to sing the hymn, “Faith of Our Fathers,” you will have no difficulty in singing “Faith of our Mothers.” They both have the same tune.
At the end of this blog, you can hear the instrumental music and see the words displayed at the same time by clicking on the link to Youtube. A second link takes you to Cynthia Clawson’s song, “My Mother’s Faith.”

FAITH OF OUR MOTHERS
Arthur B. Patten
St. Catherine (Walton)
1920
Faith of our mothers, living still
In cradle song and bedtime prayer;
In nursery lore and fireside love,
Thy presence still pervades the air:
Faith of our mothers, living faith!
We will be true to thee to death.
Faith of our mothers, loving faith,
Fount of our childhood’s trust and grace,
Oh, may thy consecration prove
Source of a finer, nobler race:
Faith of our mothers, loving faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
Faith of our mothers, guiding faith,
For youthful longing, youthful doubt,
How blurred our vision, blind our way,
Thy providential care without:
Faith of our mothers, guiding faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
Faith of our mothers, Christian faith,
Is truth beyond our stumbling creeds,
Still serve the home and save the Church,
And breathe thy spirit through our deeds:
Faith of our mothers, Christian faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
