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]
