We Are But a Band of Children

Author: Mary Irene McLean Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7167 Refrain First Line: We are a missionary band Lyrics: 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. Refrain We are a missionary band, Missionary band, missionary band; We are a missionary band, Doing all we can. 2. There are many little children, Far away across the sea, Who have never heard of Jesus, But to idols bend the knee. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] 6. Cheerfully we give our pennies, And we like to give and plan, For we are young missionaries, Doing all the good we can. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are but a band of children]
