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.
