12951. Marching Song

1 We are little soldiers marching,
In the service of our king;
Forth to battle we are pressing,
While our happy voices sing.

Refrain:
Forward, soldiers!
In our leader’s name we go.
Forward, soldiers!
Now advancing,
Let us triumph o’er the foe.

2 Bravely ’gainst the wrong we’re fighting,
Christ, our captain, leads the way.
Trusting Him, we’ll surely conquer,
Fierce and hot tho’ be the fray. [Refrain]

3 Banners flying, voices shouting,
Praises to our Savior king,
On to victory we are marching,
Hear the joyous watchword ring. [Refrain]
