Author: Banjamin R. Hanby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12973 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: We come, we come, a waiting band Lyrics: 1 We come, we come, a waiting band
A flock that knows the Shepherd’s name;
Our feet this holy day shall stand
Within thy gates, Jerusalem.
2 We come to join the humble train
Of those who worship and who praise,
To lift the heart, to swell the strain
To Him who lengthens out our days.
3 And He, whom yon angelic throng
Doth worship with majestic lay,
Will smile to hear the children’s song,
Will haste to bless them when they pray.
4 O, yes! we come, a waiting band,
A flock that knows the Shepherd’s name;
Our feet this holy day shall stand
Within thy courts, Jerusalem! Languages: English Tune Title: GUIMARÃES
