Little Gleaner’s Band

We’re a lit­tle glean­er’s band

Toiling day by day;

Gathering for a hea­then land

Pennies by the way.

Gleaners in the mis­sion field

Like the faith­ful Ruth;

To temp­ta­tion will not yield

Always speak the truth.

Busy boys and girls may we

Toil for Af­ric wild;

Interested we should be

In each hea­then child.

Tell them gods of wood and stone

Nothing good can give;

Tell them Je­sus Christ alone

Can their sins for­give.

Teach them how to praise and love

Worship and ob­ey

Christ

the Lord

who reigns ab­ove—

He’s the truth

the way.

We’re a lit­tle glean­er’s band

Toiling day by day;

Gathering for a hea­then land

Pennies by the way.
