204. A Christian band from far and near

1 A Christian band from far and near,
We meet to learn of Jesus here;
To read His Word, whose every line
Is full of hope and joy divine.

Refrain:
This blest Endeavour Band,
From o'er all this broad land,
Is gathered in His name,
To grasp the friendly hand;
Our thoughts are one in Thee,
Our prayer shall ever be,
That God may bless and ever keep
This Christian band.

2 A Christian, where all may sing
Glad songs of praise to God our King:
And youthful hearts may find the way,
To perfect peace and endless day. [Refrain]

3 Each willing hand and thankful heart,
Is bound again before we part
As sheaves on earth are bound with twine,
His word shall bind as cords divine. [Refrain]

4 The Master’s work we’ll still pursue,
And once again our pledge renew,
To Him who saves us by His love,
Till gathered home with Him above. [Refrain]
