1. A band of children free,
We join our cheerful voices,
Our thoughts with love are raised above,
And ev’ry heart rejoices.
Together then we’ll sing;
We’ll sing in sweet communion,
We’ll sound His praise in joyous lays,
For this sweet heavenly union.
2. A happy childhood band,
O may we love each other;
And may our love like that above,
Bind heart with heart together.
Together then we’ll sing;
We’ll sing in sweet communion,
We’ll sound His praise in joyous lays,
For this sweet heavenly union.
3. Where loved hearts meet as one,
To crave the Savior’s blessing;
There will He rest and make them blest,
Sweet peace and joy possessing.
Together then we’ll sing;
We’ll sing in sweet communion,
We’ll sound His praise in joyous lays,
For this sweet heavenly union.
4. And when at last we stand,
Beyond the wild, dark river;
With hand in hand, a glorious band,
We’ll join and sing forever.
Together then we’ll sing;
We’ll sing in sweet communion,
We’ll sound His praise in joyous lays,
For this sweet heavenly union.
