98. We Are Little Soldiers

1 We are little soldiers,
We are little soldiers,
Jesus is our Captain and our faithful Guide,
Marching ‘neath His banner,
Marching ‘neath His banner,
Nothing ill can fright us while we’re on His side.

Chorus:
Marching, marching, marching straight along,
Singing, singing, singing loud our song,
We’re bravely marching, marching, marching on our way,
Singing, singing, singing all the day.

2 With our valiant Leader,
With our valiant Leader,
We will never falter, we will never fear;
Braving ev’ry danger,
Braving ev’ry danger,
Jesus ever with us all our hearts to cheer. [Chorus]
