If know where to get a good photo of Eagle (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), or a better one of Rowe,
Learning how to fight
Keeping Christ in sight,
We are singing, joy-bells ringing,
Marching in the light.
Refrain
Training, learning,
God’s dear will to do;
Singing, clinging,
Little soldiers true.
Jesus is our guide,
He is at our side;
He defends us, courage lends us,
True we shall abide.
Refrain
If we conquer sin,
Keeping pure within,
Winning glory with His story,
Life-crown we shall win.
Refrain
In a happy place,
With the saved by grace,
Carols raising, Jesus praising,
We shall see His face.
