We Are Soldiers of King Jesus

My wife sent me the words to this song. It's one of those simple, yet melodious gospel tunes that come from the Moody/Sankey era.

Ada Blenkhorn wrote the words in 1900, and H.N. Lindsay composed the tune. Here are the words:


We are soldiers of King Jesus,
Clad in armor bright;
And we follow where He leads us,
Fighting for the right.
Refrain
Marching, marching ever onward,
’Neath His banner so bright,
We are soldiers of King Jesus,
Fighting for the right.
We are soldiers of King Jesus,
He’s our Captain true,
And whatever He shall bid us,
We will gladly do.
Refrain
We are soldiers of King Jesus,
We’re a loyal band;
We are bold, and brave, and fearless,
True to His command.
Refrain
We are soldiers of King Jesus;
Tho’ the fight be long,
We shall share the victor’s triumph,
Sing the victor’s song.
Refrain
