The Missionary Band

Author: Frank M. Graham; G. W. Wall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8545 First Line: We want to work for our dear Lord Refrain First Line: A happy band are we Lyrics: 1 We want to work for our dear Lord, We want to send His precious Word Over the sea to heathen lands, For we’re a missionary band. Refrain: A happy band are we, Helping them over the sea; Giving of our pennies, Fifty-two a year; A happy band are we, Helping them over the sea; Won’t you come and join us? You are needed here. 2 Jesus will help us every day, To earn our pennies for to pay To take the Gospel over there, To help poor heathens in despair. [Refrain] 3 O we will earn our pennies brown, Then we will gladly lay them down To send the Gospel to that land, The pennies from our little band. [Refrain] 4 For all that we can ever do, We’ll be well paid, our Lord is true; For in His Word He says so plain: He’ll pay us when He comes again. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We want to work for our dear Lord]
