I Am A Little Soldier
Author: Abram S. Hershey Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15382 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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,
3 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. Languages: English Tune Title: SUVA

Stockton, John Hart. (New Hope, Pennsylvania, April 19, 1813--March 25, 1877). Born of Presbyterian parents, he was converted at a Methodist camp meeting in 1838, being received into full membership in the New Jersey Conference in 1857. Because of ill health he twice took the "supernumerary relations." He withdrew from actual pastoral work in 1874 and engaged in compiling and publishing gospel hymn books, issuing Salvation Melodies that year and Precious Songs in 1875, writing both words and music for a number of the songs. He died suddenly after attending a Sunday morning service at Arch Street Church, Philadelphia. Our Hymnody, McCutchan, has, perhaps, the fullest account of him readily available.

Margaret Elizabeth Leigh Child-Villiers, Countess of Jersey
1849 - 1945 Person Name: Margaret E. Leigh Author of "I am a little soldier" in Hosanna for the Sunday School Jersey, Margaret Elizabeth Villiers, née Leigh, Countess of, eldest daughter of Lord Leigh, of Stoneleigh, in the county of Warwick, was born Oct. 29,1849, and in 1872 was married to the Earl of Jersey. In 1871 the Religious Tract Society published a small collection of her hymns and poems under the title of Hymns and Poems for very Little Children. A second series under the same title appeared in 1875. They "were mostly written by Lady Jersey before she married, for the use of a little sister, it being difficult to find hymns composed in language simple enough for a very young child." And certainly they are distinguished by a charming simplicity both of thought and language. Six of these hymns were included in W. R. Stevenson's School Hymnal, 1880. Some of these are repeated in the Voice of Praise (London S. S. Union) and other collections. Her hymns in common use are:—
1. Here am I, for thou didst call me. Child Samuel.
2. Holy Jesus, Who didst die. A Child's Prayer.
3. I am a little soldier. A child of God.
4. 0 let me praise my God and King, Praise to God the Father.
5. Speak the truth, for that is right. Speaking the Truth.
6. There are many lovely things below!. Heaven.
[Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.]
