I'm a little soldier boy brave and true,
"Follow me," my Captain says, so I do.

chorus1:
Raise the banner, join the song, face the foe;
Up with right and down with wrong, on we go.

May I be a soldier boy, brave and true?
Have you, in your army bright, room for two?

(chorus1)

Let me be a soldier boy, brave and true
Three can battle for the right more than two.

(chorus1)

I'm a little soldier boy, brave and true;
I can wave the banner - see - will I do?

(chorus1)

Take ease, little soldier, your banners may fail,
The right may yield to wrong.
But be not discouraged, Our captain knows all,
He has said, "Be strong."

chorus2:
Oh, "Love One Another," our banners we show;
If we to the motto take heed
Then all men may know wherever we go
We are His disciples indeed.

Take care, little soldier, you'll wander astray,
The way to death is wide;
Our captain says "Follow me, I am the way,"
Keep near thy friend and guide.

(chorus 2)

Take care, little soldier, the foe is at hand,
With doubts thy heart to fill;
"Believe," says our captain, "the Lord will provide;"
Believe and fear no ill.

(chorus2)
