Representative Text

1 With cheerful songs and hymns of praise,
Our grateful hearts to Him we raise,
Who Leads us on with gentle hand,
And crowns with love Our Christian Band.

Refrain:
Then gladly let us stand,
United heart and hand,
The lost to gather in
From sorrow, pain, and sin;
Be this our constant aim—
To spread abroad the name
Of Jesus our Redeemer,
And His wondrous love proclaim.

2 And while we meet together here,
In bounds of love and friendship dear,
Oh, may our prayers like incense rise,
To Him whose grace each need supplies. [Refrain]

3 O Thou who art the children’s Friend,
Our steps direct, our paths defend,
And by Thine own almighty hand
Protect and keep our Christian Band. [Refrain]
