I am a lit­tle sol­dier,
And but a few years old;
I mean to fight for Je­sus,
And wear a crown of gold.
I know He makes me hap­py,
And loves me all the day;
I’ll be His lit­tle sol­dier,
The Bi­ble says I may.

I love my bless­èd Je­sus,
Because He first loved me;
And if I do not fear Him,
How wick­ed I would be.
He gives me all the com­fort
That I en­joy this day;
I mean to live for Je­sus,
In all I do or say,

I now can do but lit­tle,
Yet I’ll do all I can;
That when my life is end­ed,
I may be hap­py then.
God help to keep me ear­nest,
In all I do or say;
I want to work for Je­sus,
For He’s the Truth, the Way.
