Farewell, vain world, I’m going home;
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
My Savior smiles and bids me come;
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
[chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
Sweet angels beckon me away;
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
To sing God’s praise in endless day;
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
My Savior smiles and bids me come;
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
[chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
Sweet angels beckon me away;
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
To sing God’s praise in endless day;
I belong to this band, hallelujah.
