I will be in this band, hallelujah;
Their leaders tell them not to fear;
I will be in this band hallelujah;
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
The second advent band, hallelujah.
As I was walking out one day,
I will be in this band. hallelujah;
A studying about this good old way,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
I will be in this band, hallelujah, &c.
There was a voice which reached my soul,
I will be in this band, halelujah,
Fear not, I make the wounded whole,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
I will be in this band, hallelujah, &c.
My dungeon shook, my chains fell off,
I will be in this band, hallelujah;
My soul unfettered went aloft,
I will be in this band, hallelujah;
I will be in this band, hallelujah.
Now bless the Lord, I can rise and tell,
I will be in this band, hallelujah;
That Jesus has done all things well,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
I will be in this band, hallelujah.
O shout on children, shout, you're free,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
For christ has bought your liberty!
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
O bless the Lord, we need not fear,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
For Daniel says he'll come this year,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
I will be in this band, hallelujah.
Both prophet and apostle too,
I will be in this band, hallelujah;
Their writings show this doctrine true;
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
I will be in this band, hallelujah.
Then bless the Lord, we need not fear,
I will be in this band, hallelujah.
For we with Christ shall reign this year,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
I will be in this band, hallelujah.
In granduer see the royal line,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
Our glittering robes the sun outshine.
I will be in this band hallelujah,
I will be in this band, hallelujah,
