Faith of our Fathers Words by Frederick W. Faber Music by H. F. Hemy
179x
1" he author was born in England, June 28, 1814. He was brought up in the strict Calvinistic doctrine and bitterly opposed the Catholic Church. At the age of 24 he published a vin dication of the Church of England as against the Roman Catholic Church. He boldly declared that the actions of the “Archbishop of Rome were un- scriptural.” He charged that the Catholics had added falsehood to the sacraments and concluded his treatise by praying, “God have mercy on her!” Under the influence of John Hen ry Newman he changed his former views, later j o i ned the Catholic Church and was made a Doctor of Divinity by the Pope in 1854. He died September 26, 1863. “ Faith of our Fathers” was written in 1849 and first appeared, in “Jesus and Mary, or, Catholic Hymns for Singing and Reading.” In the preface Faber wrote that he was endeavoring to “ supply Catholic hymns with the same fervor and simplicity of the 01- ney hymns and the Wesley hymns.” They were primarily meant to be read rather than sung. Protestant hymnal-compilers have made radical changes in Faber’s song. The second stanza was originally: “ Faith of our fathers, Mary’s prayers Shall win our country back to Thee; And through the truth that comes from God, England shall then indeed be free.” The tune St. Catherine was com posed by Henri Frederick Hemy and first appeared in 1864. It was revised and set to “ Faith of our Fathers” in 1874 by James G. Walton (1821- 1905). H. F. Hemy (1818-1888) was a noted Catholic organist, music teach er and music publisher.
