The document contains the lyrics to the hymn "Faith of Our Fathers" in three sections that each describe different aspects of faith and religious devotion despite persecution. Each section is attributed to Frederick W. Faber and set to music by Henri F. Hemy and arranged by James G. Walton. The hymn expresses pride in religious forefathers who remained devoted to their faith despite imprisonment and death, and a commitment to continue practicing that same faith through both adversity and kindness until death.
