Come, little soldiers, join in our band

Author: Hartough
Tune: PILGRIM BAND (13531)
Published in 25 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Come, little soldiers, join in our band,
March for the kingdom, our promised land,
Fearless of danger, onward we roam,
Jesus our leader is, Soon we'll be home.

Chorus:
We're a little pilgrim band:
Guided by a Saviour's hand,
Soon we'll reach our fatherland,
No more to roam.

2 Hark to the voices, bidding us come!
Angels, rejoicing, beckon us home;
No more shall sadness or sorrow oppress,
Come, little pilgrim band, there we shall rest. [Chorus]

3 Soon we shall never know sorrow more,
But, blest forever, God's love shall share;
Soon we shall see him in his blest home,
Ever still praising him, ages to come. [Chorus]
