1 Tho’ the path seems dreary,
Tho’ your feet grow weary,
Still be bright and cheery,
Keep stepping, little soldiers.

Refrain:
Left, right, left, right,
Keep stepping, little soldiers;
Let come what may, left, right,
Keep stepping, little soldiers.

2 Purer, sweeter growing,
Hearts with love o’erflowing,
Colors proudly showing,
Keep stepping, little soldiers. [Refrain]

3 He whose side was riven,
He whose life was given,
Guides you safe to heaven,
Keep stepping, little soldiers. [Refrain]
