We Are But A Band Of Children – Hymn Lyric
We are but a band of children,
We are few, and weak and small,
But we want to work for Jesus,
And there’s work enough for all.
We are a missionary band,
Missionary band, missionary band;
We are a missionary band,
Doing all we can.
There are many little children,
Far away across the sea,
Who have never heard of Jesus,
But to idols bend the knee.
So we want to send them teachers,
Who will teach them how to pray,
To the dear and loving Savior,
Who will wash their sins away.
It was Jesus died to save them,
‘Twas for this to earth He came;
He will make them pure and happy,
When they learn to love His Name.
‘Tis the Bible that will lead them
From the darkness into light,
And we all are glad to help them
Break away from heathen night.
Cheerfully we give our pennies,
And we like to give and plan,
For we are young missionaries,
Doing all the good we can.

We Are But A Band Of Children: Spreading Love and Hope as Young Missionaries
In this hymn, we are reminded of our important role as young missionaries, even though we may be few in number, weak, and small. We may not have a lot of resources or power, but our desire to work for Jesus is enough to make a difference in the lives of others.
As members of a missionary band, we have a unique opportunity to reach out to children who are far away across the sea. These children may have never heard of Jesus and may be living in darkness, worshipping idols instead. Our goal is to send them teachers who will not only teach them about prayer but also introduce them to the love and forgiveness of our dear and loving Savior.
Jesus sacrificed His life to save all of us, including these children in distant lands. He came to Earth for this very purpose, to bring light and salvation to those who are lost. When these children learn to love His Name, they will experience true happiness and purity.
But how do we reach them? How do we lead them from darkness into light? It is through the power of the Bible, the holy book that guides us all. As young missionaries, we are excited and grateful to have the opportunity to help these children break away from their heathen practices and embrace the teachings of Jesus.
We gladly contribute our pennies, knowing that every little bit helps in this mission. We take joy in giving and planning, for we understand that we are not just children but young missionaries. Our purpose is to bring about good in the world, and by supporting these children in need, we are fulfilling our calling.
Being a young missionary is not just about spreading the word of God; it is also about embodying the teachings of Jesus in our everyday lives. It means showing kindness and compassion to all, helping those in need, and standing up for justice. We may be young, but we are capable of making a difference.
As young missionaries, we recognize that our impact is not limited to those we directly help. By spreading love and hope, by reaching out to children in foreign lands, we are also inspiring others to join this noble cause. We may be a small band, but our influence can ripple far and wide.
In a world that sometimes feels overwhelming, where problems seem insurmountable, we find solace and purpose in our mission as young missionaries. We may not have all the answers, and we may face challenges along the way, but we have faith that our efforts are making a difference.
So let us continue on this journey, side by side, as a band of children with a shared purpose. Together, we can shine a light in the darkest corners of the world, bringing hope, love, and salvation to those who need it most. Let us never underestimate the power of our small but mighty band of young missionaries.
In conclusion, as members of a missionary band, we may be few, weak, and small, but we have an important role to play in spreading the teachings of Jesus and bringing hope to children across the sea. Through our contributions, both big and small, we can make a difference in the lives of others. So let us embrace our calling as young missionaries and continue doing all the good we can.
