The alterations to the lyrics consist in the following: First, the last two lines of verse two read: "How sweet would be their children's fate, If they, like them, could die for thee!" The third verse has two versions, one for England and one for Ireland. The English version runs thus: "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 Irish version: "Faith of our fathers! Mary's prayers Shall keep our country fast to thee; And through the truth that comes from God O we shall prosper and be free!" Change log: 3-24-06 added verses, moved to 2.8 and current formatting %}
