Published in 4 hymnals

Representative Text

1 We're a happy Christian band,
Marching to the heav'nly land!
'Tis the Saviour leads us there
To the Father's home so fair!

Chorus:
Come, and join our Christian band,
On redemption's ground we stand!
We are ransomed, we are free,
Sing His praise eternally.

2 'Tis a bright and cheerful way,
When the Saviour we obey;
By His loving hand we're led,
By His precious manna fed! [Chorus]

3 What a glorious morn 'twill be
When our loved ones we shall see!
When with Jesus we shall reign,
Nevermore to part again! [Chorus]

4 Come, and join us, one and all,
Heed the Savior's loving call;
Turn from sin and seek the Lord,
He will save you! Trust His word. [Chorus]
