By Wendell Magee Keek
Associate Professor of English
Utah Stt Agricultural College
The year 1949 is centennial for
several events besides the Califor
nia gold rush. One of these is the
first publication of the famous
hymn, "Faith of Our Fathers." In
an inter-church survey conducted
recently, this hymn ranked elev
enth in competitive rating with
more than 350 other hymns
rent use. Although written
Roman Catholic priest, this hymn
has had wide use in Protestant
congregations.
Reasons for the popularity, and
long life of this hymn are not far
to seek. The dignified, stirring tune
to which it is usually sung is ad
mirably suited to the vigorous spir
it of its verses. The song aspouses
no doctrine not universally accept
ed by Christians. Moreover, it
came from the heart of a man
whose faith had remained constant
and strong through years of per
plexity and difficulty.
Barn of Anglican Faith
The author. Frederick W. Faber,
was born into the Anglican faith.
Huguenot blood flowed in his
veins, and one cannot help won
dering whether he was not remem
bering his own ancestry when he
wrote:
Oar fathers, chained I" prisons
dark
Were stir in heart and con
science free.
In youth, his life was marked
by extreme piety. At Oxford uni
versity he met John Henry (later
Cardinal) Newman, well known
now as 'author of "Lead, Kindly
Light," another universal favorite.
Meeting and working with New
man was without doubt the most
important single event in Faber's
life. At the; age of 25 he was or
dained on Anglican priest, but a
few years later, under Newman's
influence, he embraced the Roman
Catholic faith.
Fonnd Need for Hymns
In 1849 Faber and-a helDer es
tablished a humble mis-ion in a
London slum district. At his night
ly services : in the chapel. Faber
found considerable need for hymns,
and felt that simple bu expressive
songs would be helpful both in
worship and in teaching. He was
already familiar with the effective
hymns by Watts, Cowper, and the
Wesleys, and determined to write
hymns suited to the use of his
own and other Catholic congrega
tions, j
Altogether he wrote more than j
150 hymns, but none of the others
rujujcu wir jwpuidlliy UI rs,ln 01 ton hoDtaL
a Wideness in God's Mercy" and
"Hark, HarK My Soul!" have been
frequently republished and adapt
ed as anthems.
As originally published. "Faith
of Our Fathjers" had four stanza.
and was a little sermon in verse.
The first two stanzas experssed
veneration for herioc acts of faith
performed by early Christians; the
last two exhort the present ae
to match the forefathers' achieve-
response Is nowhere better illus
trated than in this hymn.
Biographers agree that Faber
had a singularly sweet, calm dis
position. He energetically lived the
kind of life he encouraged in his
sermons and in his hymns. As a
preacher he was well poised, was
noted for his choice expression,
and for unusually effective person
al exhortation. Those who knew
him best loved him most for the
"kindly words and virtuous life"'
