|
|
<p>We are but a band of children,<br>
|
|
We are few, and weak and small,<br>
|
|
But we want to work for Jesus,<br>
|
|
And there’s work enough for all.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">We are a missionary band,<br>
|
|
Missionary band, missionary band;<br>
|
|
We are a missionary band,<br>
|
|
Doing all we can.</p>
|
|
<p>There are many little children,<br>
|
|
Far away across the sea,<br>
|
|
Who have never heard of Jesus,<br>
|
|
But to idols bend the knee.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>So we want to send them teachers,<br>
|
|
Who will teach them how to pray,<br>
|
|
To the dear and loving Savior,<br>
|
|
Who will wash their sins away.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>It was Jesus died to save them,<br>
|
|
’Twas for this to earth He came;<br>
|
|
He will make them pure and happy,<br>
|
|
When they learn to love His Name.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>’Tis the Bible that will lead them<br>
|
|
From the darkness into light,<br>
|
|
And we all are glad to help them<br>
|
|
Break away from heathen night.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Cheerfully we give our pennies,<br>
|
|
And we like to give and plan,<br>
|
|
For we are young missionaries,<br>
|
|
Doing all the good we can.</p>
|
|
