Little Soldiers (Thompson)

We are sol­diers

lit­tle sol­diers

Fighting for our king and Lord;

Every time we win a bat­tle

He has pro­mised a re­ward;

He has pro­mised ev­ery sol­dier

If they dare the right to do

Promised them a crown of glo­ry

If they fight the bat­tle through.

So we march

march away

Not a mo­ment’s de­lay;

’Neath our ban­ner bright

For God and right

We’re sure to win the day.

We are sol­diers

lit­tle sol­diers

Bravely fight­ing ev­ery sin;

With our Sav­ior for our cap­tain

We shall all our bat­tles win;

He has pro­mised

if we ask Him

He will help us day by day;

So we’ll brave­ly march to bat­tle

Praying

sing­ing all the way.

When at last the fight is ov­er

And we’ve reached the heav’n­ly shore

We shall hear our Sav­ior say­ing

Rest

My sol­diers

ev­er­more;

You have brave­ly fought My bat­tles

Bravely fought and nob­ly won

Enter in­to joys eter­nal—

Soldiers of the Lord

well done!
