Missionary Band

Verse 1

We are but a band of children, We are few, and weak and small, But we want to work for Jesus, And there’s work enough for all.

Chorus

We are a missionary band, Missionary band, missionary band; We are a missionary band, Doing all we can.

Verse 2

There are many little children, Far away across the sea, Who have never heard of Jesus, But to idols bend the knee.

Verse 3

So we want to send them teachers, Who will teach them how to pray, To the dear and loving Savior, Who will wash their sins away.

Verse 4

It was Jesus died to save them, ’Twas for this to earth He came; He will make them pure and happy, When they learn to love His name.

Verse 5

’Tis the Bible that will lead them From the darkness into light, And we all are glad to help them Break away from heathen night.

Verse 6

Cheerfully we give our pennies, And we like to give and plan, For we are young missionaries, Doing all the good we can.
