I Am a Little Soldier

I am a lit­tle sol­dier

And but a few years old;

I mean to fight for Je­sus

And wear a crown of gold.

I know He makes me hap­py

And loves me all the day;

I’ll be His lit­tle sol­dier

The Bi­ble says I may.

I love my bless­èd Je­sus

Because He first loved me;

And if I do not fear Him

How wick­ed I would be.

He gives me all the com­fort

That I en­joy this day;

I mean to live for Je­sus

In all I do or say

I now can do but lit­tle

Yet I’ll do all I can;

That when my life is end­ed

I may be hap­py then.

God help to keep me ear­nest

In all I do or say;

I want to work for Je­sus

For He’s the Truth

the Way.
