Great choice to write about this hymn. I have always loved it. It makes me think of my father, grandfathers, and all my great grandfathers who handed down the faith. I believe that for Catholic children, keeping the faith of our fathers is the first step in keeping the commandment to honor our mothers and fathers. It is said that Catholic children are more likely to keep the faith and attend mass if their father does. I think this song is tapping into that. Thank you for writing about it.
