Little Minstrel Band

Representative Text

1 With joy we meet, With love we greet
"The Little Minstrel" bright;
With songs of glee, Bid sadness flee-
We're glad and gay to-night.

Chorus:
O happy band, Joined heart and hand,
Together we will sing, Together we will sing.
Bring the Little Minstrel, The Little Minstrel,
Little Minstrel bring.

2 Come children all, On you we call,
To join our minstrel band;
Come let us sing Of Christ our King,
And of the heavenly land. [Chorus]

3 As here we meet, at Jesus' feet,
To learn his high command,
Our voices ring, our songs we sing,
A happy Minstrel band. [Chorus]

4 We're marching still, up Zion's hill,
A little Minstrel band;
The way's not long, when cheered by song,
From the young Minstrel band. [Chorus]
