Sunday School Soldiers

Composer: W. F. Fowler, 1903

We are sol­diers of the heav’n­ly King

Waving ban­ners to the sky

And we march along to Zi­on’s hill

Singing songs of vic­to­ry.

For the Bi­ble is our trus­ty shield

And the truth our flam­ing sword;

To the foe we’ll nev­er

nev­er yield

While our cap­tain is the Lord.

We’re sol­diers of the heav’n­ly King

Our cap­tain shall lead us on

To meet the foe at ev­ery hand

And fight till the vic­to­ry’s won.

We are sol­diers of the heav’n­ly King

Soon the vic­t’ry will be won

For our lead­er is a migh­ty One

Even God’s be­lov­èd Son.

Let the war cry ring

as on we swing

In the glo­ri­ous bat­tle line:

Satan’s host shall fly

and ne’er de­fy

The Re­deem­er of man­kind.
