Yes, the sentence is correct. It sounds more smoothly and less formal in my opinion.

You could shorten it be saying 'but not in you'.

It is correct, but it is a bit flowery/poetic.

More natural would be:

We have lost faith in them, but we still have faith in you.

Or, as TDOL suggested:

We have lost faith in them but not in you.

:wink:

Mike, you don't sound to be fond of poetic style of writing? Am I right? :wink:

I think it fine for speeches, poetry, some literature. It sounds strange in most other uses. :wink:
