Description

The Oath of Sibaud

We raise our arms to the heavens,

for this is the land where our forebears

swore faithfulness to God,

and swore to raise memorials

where for God’s sake they died.

Sovereign of Sinai, Sovereign of Israel,

God of the saints, of the patriarchs,

as you saved these you have saved us, too.

In the land of our forebears

never let us abandon our faith--

struggle with us who fight for you.

With this oath may Heaven bless our forebears,

and in this hour may God bless us again.

Hands joined together, Waldensians, let us repeat--

I swear, my God, to live and die for you.
