176. Happy Birthday

1 A little soldier of the King
His birthday holds today,
May he be ever good and true,
And God’s commands obey.

Refrain:
Happy birthday, happy birthday,
More like Jesus may you grow,
Happy birthday, happy birthday,
Love and serve Him here below.

2 A little soldier of the King
Must stand up for the right.
And try to do thro’ all the year
Things pleasing in His sight. [Refrain]
