1.  BAND of Prayerists be ready

     The Cherubim all to meet

     Thee Jesus hath calleth and and chose 

     He hath the world created

     All of the earth He invite

     This salvation ark to join

     To glorious throne, Christ, us lead, 

     As our days pass bye and bye.

Chorus:  Bye and bye, Bye and bye. 2ce 

               Much of work lay down for us 

               As our days pass bye and bye.


2.  Gird on thy loins ye Seraphims 

     The Cherubims all to meet

     Nay let loose thy girdles and bands

     The Cherubims all to meet

     Lift on high the victory sword 

     God of Daniel, Hossanah 

     Christ is come, Halleluyah

Chorus:  Bye and bye, Bye and bye...


3.  God the Trinity we beseech 

     Come oh harken to our pray‘rs 

     Christ Jesus our Saviour is come

     Much of work lay down for us 

     As our days pass bye and bye.

Chorus:  Bye and bye, Bye and bye...


4.  Bind us all in love, in accord

     As our days pass bye and bye

    One and all win into the fold

     As our days pass bye and bye

     All our seedling sown shall brood 

     Sown at dusk or dawn shall bloom 

     Strengthen all weaklings and faint 

     As our days pass bye and bye.

Chorus:  Bye and bye, Bye and bye. 2ce 

               Much of work lay down for us 

               As our days pass bye and bye.  Amen
