We Are the Children of the Church (Our Fathers' Church)

Verse 1

We are the children of the church, Our mothers reared by prayer, The church our fathers fortified, By faith and manly care.

Chorus

Our fathers' church, our mothers' church, Is just the church for me Our fathers' church, our mothers' church, Mine evermore shall be.

Verse 2

Strong are its massive gates and wide, Its walls a-towering pile; Alike impregnable to all Who would its courts defile.

Verse 3

Numerous its people as the stars, As pledged in days of old; And will be as the countless sand, A number yet untold.
