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.
