Glad Tidings in Song ‎#129

129. Little soldiers

1 Soldier boys and girls are we,
Marching with our King;
At the front we bear the cross,
While for Christ we sing.

Refrain:
This is the sign, the flag of all the true;
Bravely we bear the red, the white and blue,
This is the sign, the flag of all the true;
Bravely we bear the red, the white and blue.

2 Brave and true we hope to be
To our colors all,
And to conquer sin we’ll try,
Never must we fall. [Refrain]
