Lyrics

We’re a youth­ful sol­dier band,
Fighting at our king’s com­mand,
Fighting to re­claim the world
From the curse of sin.
Come and join our ranks to­day,
And no long­er stay away,
He will help you on the way,
To the throne of God.
We’re a youth­ful sol­dier band,
Fighting at our king’s com­mand,
Fighting to re­claim the world
From the curse of sin.

Come away, leave sin­ful lust,
And in Je­sus put your trust;
He will help you con­quer sin,
Praise His ho­ly name.
Then we’ll ral­ly at His call,
Do His bid­ding one and all,
Ne’er give up un­til we fall,
In the glo­ri­ous fray.
Come away, leave sin­ful lust,
And in Je­sus put your trust;
He will help you con­quer sin,
Praise His ho­ly name.
