Strike Up the Band

Strike up the band, that Angel band assembled now and ready
 To proclaim heaven's praises to the King
 That music's planned, prepared for those who've come by way of Calvary
 It's the song that the Angels cannot sing
 The redeemed of all the ages will be there to sing along
 On a brand new song never heard by mortal man
 Oh, I'm longing for the day when I hear King Jesus say
 "Welcome to the promised land! Strike up the band!"
 We are living in the book of Revelation
 From the things we see we know the time is near
 Soon a trumpet blast will start the celebration
 We will hear the shout from heaven loud and clear
 Strike up the band, that Angel band assembled now and ready
 To proclaim heaven's praises to the King
 That music's planned, prepared for those who've come by way of Calvary
 It's the song that the Angels cannot sing
 The redeemed of all the ages will be there to sing along
 On a brand new song never heard by mortal man
 Oh, I'm longing for the day when I hear King Jesus say
 "Welcome to the promised land! Strike up the band!"
 I can just imagine David as he's playing
 Some sweet song about the risen Holy One
 We will make the heavens ring with happy praises
 To God the Father, God the Spirit, God the Son
 God the Son
 Strike up the band, that Angel band assembled now and ready
 To proclaim heaven's praises to the King
 That music's planned, prepared for those who've come by way of Calvary
 It's the song that the Angels cannot sing
 The redeemed of all the ages will be there to sing along
 On a brand new song never heard by mortal man
 Oh, I'm longing for the day when I hear King Jesus say
 "Welcome to the promised land! Strike up the band!"
 Oh, I'm longing for the day when I hear King Jesus say
 "Welcome to the promised land!"
 Strike up the band, strike up the band, strike up the band
 Strike up the band
