12950. Little Heralds

1 We are little heralds, marching thro’ the land,
Bearing joyful tidings, at our king’s command.

Refrain:
Join with ours your voices— let earth’s kingdoms ring,
Loud with endless praises, unto Christ our king.

2 Jesus is our watchword, as we onward go;
With His banner o’er us, we will fear no foe. [Refrain]

3 He is ever faithful, good and kind and true;
And He watches o’er us, whatsoe’er we do. [Refrain]

4 Joined in love together, hearts made pure and free;]
In this world of darkness, joyful lights we’ll be. [Refrain
