little soldiers

learning how to fight
keeping christ in sight,
we are singing, joy-bells ringing,
marching in the light.

refrain

training, learning,
god’s dear will to do;
singing, clinging,
little soldiers true.

jesus is our guide,
he is at our side;
he defends us, courage lends us,
true we shall abide.

refrain

if we conquer sin,
keeping pure within,
winning glory with his story,
life-crown we shall win.

refrain

in a happy place,
with the saved by grace,
carols raising, jesus praising,
we shall see his face.
