"Show your faith" would be show support for something, if it is indeed Wiess oriented, then it'd be her being told to support something she doesn't believe is right, Wiess seems to have no problems getting in the limelight but she does have problems being associated with what her father has done, which in context of the rest of the song makes more sense "Know your place, accept your fate, show your faith and be thankfull.." would imply "do what your expected, accept it, like it, or else." which fits into the abusive parent theme that the rest of the song conveys. Show your face works better in the same context, she is being forced to act as a face for her fathers company, rather than merely pretending to be supportive of the company practices. Fiits better with emotional abuse as well.

Except throughout the series Wiess has shown tendancies to try and hog the spotlight, your interpretation of "Show your face" is too specific and doesn't really work when she loves recognition, by "Show your faith" I interpret that as not merely pretending to support company practices, but advertising her support on and off camera, if you don't support something at all, you have to be one hell of an actor to sell it as something you support, especially if you are expected to do so 24/7, Wiess wouldn't just have to sell that to the public but to everyone at home, especially her father, otherwise his anger that he undoubtedly has dirrected at Faunus could end up being dirrected at her. "...And every day, my father would come home furious. And that made for a very difficult childhood." - Weiss Shnee in "The Stray" imagine what happens when you mix that furiousity with a child showing empathy for the subject of that furiousity.
