Текст песни Strike Up the Band - Heritage Singers

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
