Little Soldiers

Lena Thompson • English

Primary Scripture: Ephesians 6:12

Verse 1

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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 3

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!"

Chorus

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.
