Representative Text

1 We are soldiers, faithful soldiers, we’ll be trusty, true and strong;
We have joined the Savior’s army, and to him we now belong;
We are underneath his banner, and we follow everywhere—
For wherever he may lead us, there is safety in his care.

Refrain:
Soldiers of the King, we are soldiers off the King!
Marching in his footsteps, joyfully we sing!
Safe beneath his banner, victory he’ll bring;
Sin’s alarm can never harm the soldiers of the King.

2 We are soldiers, valiant soldiers, and we’re fighting for our King;
Where the foes of Jesus enter, there our battle cry shall ring;
We will fight them bravely, gladly, till they all are driv’n away,
And the army of the Master, all triumphant, wins the day! [Refrain]

3 We are soldiers, happy soldiers, for we know his way is best,
So we do whate’er he tells us, and we trust him for the rest;
Not a danger can o’ertake us, not a foe can do us harm,
For we’re under the protection of his strong and mighty arm. [Refrain]
