Lyrics

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.

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

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