Being brought up in the Gorbals,Glasgow in the 60's persecuted 4 being Irish,Catholic&Proud,I remember the roof being nearly blown off St John's when this was sung.I've requested this to be played @ my funeral as my last stand against the bigots of Scotland.KEEP THE FAITH. HAIL HAIL WE ALL ARE ONE !!!
I also remember being in Mick Heraghty's bar in Glasgow after an Ireland game when they beat Italy. It was like being at Sunday night devotions, full repertoire of hymns, Sweet Heart of Jesus, Faith of our Fathers, Hail Glorious St Patrick etc etc. Now that's when you know you're proud of your Irish Catholic Heritage. Viva la Papa. Erin Go Bragh
As an Asian Catholic, this pumped blood like no pre workout. I am for the faith. My fathers had practiced. It is my blood inheritance. I am proud of it. Jesus Christ is my master. My proud neck will bow down only to him
My Mam told me this was like the national anthem for Catholics in Manchester. Whereas in the Con clubs they'd sing God save the Queen at the end of the night, in the Catholic clubs they'd sing Faith of Our Fathers. Big Irish Catholic population here.
Down in Essex in the 60s the Catholic parish club dance nights used to finish with the soldiers song as most of the parishioners were irish and the band was a showband. One English member complained so from then onwards it was faith of our fathers. Memories just flooded back. ❤💚
Our forefathers must be spinning in their graves to see the state of faith in our world! Our world needs to grow strong again in the Truth of our faith. Time for conviction Catholics to stand strong and proclaim the Kingdom of God.
This is the version I was taught many moons ago in Australia but it appears on UA-cam that there are other versions. I must say I love this version the best.
My favourite hymn if all time. I remember Sunday Mass, mam , dad, myself and three siblings, Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Broomhill, Glasgow. Fr Conlan, marching up the isle, belting out this hymn for all his worth. That left an indelible mark upon me. 50 years later I still remember vividly.
Faith of our Fathers is an English Catholic hymn, written in 1849 by Frederick William Faber in memory of the Catholic martyrs from the time of the establishment of the Church of England by Henry VIII. Faber wrote two versions of the hymn: with seven stanzas for Ireland and with four for England.
Desmond Gahan I have so much admiration for English Catholics, god knows the horrors their ancestors endured under the sectarian regimes of the past, brave people
Faith of our fathers,is the apostolic Christian faith, before ever there was any manmade religions.its religions that's causes all the trouble.Jsus hated religion.God bless.
the hairs on the back of my neck will stand to attention whenever again I hear this wonderful song. I remember as a child of the 1950s hearing the Croke Park crowd belting out this song (via steam radio) on All Ireland Final day. My beloved (late ) old Da used to stand to attention in the middle of the kitchen, and heartily sing along (as did most of our neighbours) I also fondly remember the late great Micheal O' Hehir's opening words on every one of his broadcasts (in Gaelic) "Hello, and welcome to all of our Irish friends everywhere" (I think) I have searched in vain for a recording of the Croke Park crowd (accompanied by the Artane boys band) singing 'faith of our fathers' can anyone help?
A single song that can evoke such happy memories,is truly blessing. my mother from Ireland and father from England,one Catholic the other Protestant and deep love between them. R.I.P xxx
To be fair to the Scottish Protestants, they were far less persecuting of Catholics than in England. Maybe 2 priests were executed, compared to countless in England and Ireland.
@@mango2005 Scots Catholics suffered much. In a lonely Highland valley hidden far away from view, Lies one of Scotland’s Mass Stones, known only to a few. ‘Twas there our forebears gathered in the shadow of the Ben To kneel in humble worship at the Mass Stone in the glen. Our priests like wolves were hunted down, dear God was surely bad, That from the right to worship Thee, Thy children were debarred. And yet, they bravely bore their cross, those simple Scottish men, Were proud to share Thy Calvary at the Mass Stone in the glen. No more upon the hilltop the sentinel keeps guard, The heather priests, those holy souls, have gone to their reward. And we who worship God in peace can bless those gallant men, who kept the faith for Scotland at the Mass Stone in the glen. God bless the glens of Scotland, every rock and mountain pass. ‘Twas those same glens that under God preserved for us the Mass. And if the day should come again our faith will call for men, She will not find them wanting at the Mass Stone in the glen.
aith of our fathers, living still, In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword; Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy Whene’er we hear that glorious Word!Refrain: Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart and conscience free; How sweet would be their children’s fate, If they, like them, could die for thee!Faith of our fathers, we will strive To win all nations unto thee; And through the truth that comes from God, We all shall then be truly free.Faith of our fathers, we will love Both friend and foe in all our strife; And preach thee, too, as love knows how By kindly words and virtuous life.
Our Lady has said that we must be prepared for those days to return, may we not let her down. Next time it wont only be catholics,it will be every one who wont deny Jesus is Lord.
I remember this being sung at CELTIC games in the 70's an wen we went to the carfin club before the CELTIC V Motherwell games hearing this being belted out by the bhoys was inspiring
I will be true to my fathers til death. God bless my Virgin Mary and God bless Ireland. Ireland will always be the land of saints and scholars. God save us
Old enough to remember this one being sung in Croke Park, Dublin before the Irish National Anthem at All Ireland Final Day..."but I was young and foolish then and much too blind to see"....I also note that the hymn "Abide With Me"...is also sung before the British National Anthem before the F.A.Cup Final...
***** They are good hymns but they do not possess our heads anymore, Riverdance took over! Oh, I love Abide with me and more than that I love "Be Thou my Vision". All good hymns and especially this week after six lovely souls were lost in Berkeley California in that awful balcony collapse. I weep for those young students.
It's a catholic hymn, written during the penal years which were applicable to both English and Irish catholics. Surely a catholic is a catholic whatever their nationality.
Irishandtired, you don't need to be Irish to keep the faith. Don't give up. We are the one true Catholic Faith. I will be true, till death.- it is what we do. be tired, Be Irish, your Church has you in it's hands. You are loved.
God Bless Frank Patterson! He put heart and soul into this! It has been on my computer for long! Available at the click of a mouse! I am not RC (baptised C of E, but never took to it). But "Faith of our Fathers" is my favourite hymn! Damn Henry VIII, who turned most of us into infidels! I keep on playing this, and every time I have tears running down my face! Gerabred's comment made me think I shall demand this to be played at my funeral!
Become Catholic then! Nothing to lose and all to gain! Especially the Holy Faith of Our Fathers and a true connection with the Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament!
This is the version I sang with gusto as a child in the 1950s in St. Christophers Cathecdral Canberra, the Australian Capital Territory. Great ot hear it sung with such enthusiasm.
I know this hymn is set to another tune ... but, to me, this is the ONLY melody for this particular hymn. I'm listening to this on Holy Thursday night 2011 ... and Faith Of Our Fathers is invariably one of the hymns I sing softly to myself at our "watch night" vigil with Christ on this night. Even though I didn't make the vigil tonight, I am still having my own vigil here at home - with this hymn. Thank you for making this possible for me :) Happy and Blessed Easter.
and I just accidentally arrived here, when I was looking for a real Scottish singer, singing "Flower of Scotland". And now I want to listen to "Flowers of the may"
I learned this song at St Kenneths primary and I am proud to know the words of this song and the words of hail glorious st Patrick.btw it's st kenneths in Ballingry. FIFE. SHCOTLAND,the h. in Scotland is deliberate like shon connerry. who wants independence. the guy has never lived in schotland doesn't pay tax coz he,s a rich guy who thinks we, are plebs,he,s shcotlands gary barlow
Anyone who doubts the faithfulness of the Irish Catholics can learn much from the words of this song. Our ancestors were punished, exiled, tortured and killed for their faith. They never gave it up. My Grandparents left Ireland when newlyweds to avoid financial persecution as my Grandpa wanted to provide for his family well. Within 5 years he was a self made man on the Brooklyn waterfront and not persecuted for his Faith. The perseuction has started here in the USA..with radical secularists.
I learned this hymn in school myself over 50years ago and this was the version that we all loved.Died anyone know which is the original melody because every other version is another tune altogether.Thank you so much for the download,it really lifts the spiriit.
We need the hymns of our faith to be spread around the world = not just the voices of Christian faiths also all faiths need to show their solidarity not just singly but together we need to beat the black shroud cowards. United we will succeed, we also need tolerance of moderate Muslims. True to our beliefs though not critical of other beliefs.
What the fuck Brenda, there are no Christian faiths its just us, the Catholic Church. Do we fuck need tolerance of moderate Muslims as they don't exist. They are all the same, given the right circumstances and opportunity they would have us all killed.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (September 29) I played this for Sunday School Assembly. However, it was to the tune, ST. CATHERINE.
I long ago abandoned my religion, stilI I love this song for its expression of resistance to the persecution of us micks meted out by the ascendancy throughout the British Empire, including Australia where I'm from. I'm glad the old attitudes have gone here. It is interesting that our fiery tune is so different from the gentle one sung by americans. It's not as if the Irish and catholics in general haven't had the odd spot of bother in the 'States over the years :)
Not nearly as good as it was when bellowed by fifteen hundred coal miners and their families packed into the church at Cessnock, sadly the only good memories I have of my catholic upbringing is the Hyms and the latin mass
Fr David Lloyd1 year ago Do you all mean "Catholic" or "ROMAN Catholic" - the two things are not quite the same you know. Actually "father" the work Catholic means Universal, God created 1 universal Church, not 1 to suit every taste.
A Wonderful Song . . .to be enjoyed by All. What a shame we have all these different Religions when we all Worship the same God . . .just listen to yourselves . .and you call yourselves Christians ?
“What a shame we have all these different religions” yep but you go on to say “when we worship the same God” If you call yourself a Christian I’m becoming an atheist when human sacrifice are in many religions, when in some cults like Islam, their god encourages domestic violence and trains their followers to kill people who leave their religion. Then last but not least when we see direct defiance of the Bible when people don’t follow the pope “Peter you are the rock on which I build my church, whatever you bind on earth you bind in heaven” So no we don’t worship the same god as Muslims do, the same god as Norse legends and we stick by our god rather than defy him for an easy divorce.
Great singer but by FAR the worst version or melody, compared to the more popular "Faith of our Fathers," that most folks know. I saw Frank in Concert in Fort Worth, in what I believe was his last (or one of his very last) Concerts he ever performed. It was magic! Wish he had of sung the more popular version of "Faith of our Fathers."
"Galileo... he remained a life-long FAITHFUL Catholic to the end.The Argument was to do with a secular scientific dispute not a faith dispute." Whether he remained faithful and the cause of the argument do not change the fact that he was perscuted. His work on a heliocentric solar system was condemned by the Inquisition as violating the Council of Trent and added to the index. He lived under house arrest for the last nine years of his life for being "vehemently suspect of heresy". Sounds pretty much like persecution to me.
This makes me feel sick. I remember singing this as a five or six year old at the Holy Name School in Great Barr Birmingham during the mid fifties. We were taught by nuns (bitches). The Martyrs were stupid, they died for nothing. I'm glad I was able to shed the depressing dogma of Catholisism
Its sad your choice was made because of bad examples, by the tone of your post its brought you no peace. God is bigger than the people in his church.It,s the gospel and the sacraments that are the church,the rest I take or leave according to the individual,priest,nun or person. It was Jesus,s own friend that sold him out and members of his own Faith that hounded him to his death. Human nature never changes.
Your name is an attempt of a very powerful demon which doesn’t give you too much credibility when you are calling something evil. Secondly the martyrs did die for nearly nothing in some cases like yours. If people like you are losing their beliefs because of other people, then religion must’ve been obsolete for you anyway.
@@oisin9533 There is no such thing as a demon or a god and the martyrs died for nothing. The Nuns at my school were cruel bitches, but that was not why I lost my faith. I remember being told about the day Jesus was born and how the whole World rejoiced, I then asked how did we know in England I was slapped across the face or that. I still believed, but as an adult, I read the Bible and did some research, there is no evidence for the Jesus as described in Bible, outside of the Bible and the story of the World rejoicing about his birth is tripe.
@@Behwyelzebub oh sorry I’m late in answering you. Firstly hi,secondly , yeah there are demons and there’s evidence enough of possessions and things. If you need a few links I’ll gladly provide them. And it is written that Jesus was a person like, he did walk the earth; its up to you to believe the miracles or not.

To Michael McDermott, the catholics were pretty good at persecuting themselves. Ask Galileo
"Galileo... he remained a life-long FAITHFUL Catholic to the end.The Argument was to do with a secular scientific dispute not a faith dispute."
Whether he remained faithful and the cause of the argument do not change the fact that he was perscuted. His work on a heliocentric solar system was condemned by the Inquisition as violating the Council of Trent and added to the index. He lived under house arrest for the last nine years of his life for being "vehemently suspect of heresy". Sounds pretty much like persecution to me.
Are you another conspiracy theorist?
This makes me feel sick. I remember singing this as a five or six year old at the Holy Name School in Great Barr Birmingham during the mid fifties. We were taught by nuns (bitches).
The Martyrs were stupid, they died for nothing. I'm glad I was able to shed the depressing dogma of Catholisism
Its sad your choice was made because of bad examples, by the tone of your post its brought you no peace. God is bigger than the people in his church.It,s the gospel and the sacraments that are the church,the rest I take or leave according to the individual,priest,nun or person. It was Jesus,s own friend that sold him out and members of his own Faith that hounded him to his death. Human nature never changes.
Your name is an attempt of a very powerful demon which doesn’t give you too much credibility when you are calling something evil. Secondly the martyrs did die for nearly nothing in some cases like yours. If people like you are losing their beliefs because of other people, then religion must’ve been obsolete for you anyway.
@@oisin9533 There is no such thing as a demon or a god and the martyrs died for nothing. The Nuns at my school were cruel bitches, but that was not why I lost my faith. I remember being told about the day Jesus was born and how the whole World rejoiced, I then asked how did we know in England I was slapped across the face or that.
I still believed, but as an adult, I read the Bible and did some research, there is no evidence for the Jesus as described in Bible, outside of the Bible and the story of the World rejoicing about his birth is tripe.
@@Behwyelzebub oh sorry I’m late in answering you. Firstly hi,secondly , yeah there are demons and there’s evidence enough of possessions and things. If you need a few links I’ll gladly provide them.
And it is written that Jesus was a person like, he did walk the earth; its up to you to believe the miracles or not.
What an evil and sick person you are. The Catholic Church will subjugate all pagans and Protestants in the end, lord have mercy on you.
Mr. Patterson's singing is too theatrical (in this hymn).
We WILL be true to death.
This is the proper and only version of this hymn.hail Hail.
aith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword;
Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious Word!Refrain:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
How sweet would be their children’s fate,
If they, like them, could die for thee!Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We all shall then be truly free.Faith of our fathers, we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife;
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.
