Lyrics

We’re a little mission band,
Working long, hoping long,
Toiling for the heathen land—
Happy is our song.

Refrain

We’re a little mission band,
Jesus takes us by the hand;
We around His throne shall stand,
Where angel hosts adore;
Come and join our mission band,
He will take you by the hand;
You around His throne may stand,
And praise Him ev­er­more.

Christ receives our works of love,
Hear His voice! loving voice!
Comes the blessing from above,
While our hearts rejoice.

Refrain

E’en the least can something do,
Tho’ we’re small, weak and small,
For we have a purpose true—
Christ is all in all.
