Faithful Remnant, an Anabaptist Song

Verse 1 In the fields of old Zurich, where Grebel took his stand Against the infant sprinkling that swept across the land He said "Let each believer choose to follow Christ in deed" And in the Limmat River, they planted faith's first seed The magistrates were watching, their faces set like stone But God was also watching from His heavenly throne Verse 2 Through the valleys of the Alps, where Hutterites found home They shared their goods in common, no man called things his own The women spun and wove while the men worked with their hands Building peaceful communities in those mountain lands Though armies came to scatter them like sheep without a fold Their faith burned bright within them, more precious than fine gold Verse 3 In the dungeons dark and dreary, where martyrs met their fate They sang of Christ's salvation while facing hell's own gate Young Dirk Willems turned back to save his captor from the ice And paid with his own life blood, the ultimate sacrifice Their blood became the seed corn of faith that would not die Their witness echoes still beneath the endless sky Verse 4 Now in the modern city, where towers scrape the clouds We still hear Jesus calling above the rushing crowds To be a light set on a hill, salt in a world gone bland To live as if His kingdom is truly close at hand The narrow way still beckons, though few will choose to walk Upon the path where actions speak louder than our talk Bridge From generation to generation Through persecution and through pain The faithful remnant carries on Till Jesus comes again The gates of hell won't overcome The church that bears His name Chorus We are the faithful remnant, walking in their shoes Of those who chose the harder path, who paid the martyr's dues We are the faithful remnant, holding to the way That Jesus taught His followers in that long ago day We are the faithful remnant, scattered but not lost Still counting out the price of faith, still willing to pay the cost We are the faithful remnant, until the Lord returns We'll keep the flame of simple faith alive, and let it burn Guitar Solo (Instrumental) Chorus (Repeat) We are the faithful remnant, walking in their shoes Of those who chose the harder path, who paid the martyr's dues We are the faithful remnant, holding to the way That Jesus taught His followers in that long ago day We are the faithful remnant, scattered but not lost Still counting out the price of faith, still willing to pay the cost We are the faithful remnant, until the Lord returns We'll keep the flame of simple faith alive, and let it burn
