Author: F. L. B. Appears in 3 hymnals Hymnal Title: Triumphant Songs No.2 First Line: We are Christian Soldier Boys Refrain First Line: Let us march, march along Lyrics: 1 We are Christian Soldier Boys, Doing what we can! For the right we’ll make a noise! Each may be a man! Ev’ry heart is happy now, We’ll be right instead of wrong, So we make a greeting bow While we sing our song! Refrain: Let us march, march along, Up the bright and shining way, Doing what is right to do, Like a little solider true! Let us march, march along, Up the bright and shining way, Doing what is right to do, Like a little pilgrim true! 2 We are Christian Pilgrim Girls, Happy Pilgrims bright, Like the pretty dewdrop pearls Falling in the night, We won’t wear a “Dunce’s cap.” We’ll be right instead of wrong, Hear our hands go clap, clap, clap, As we sing our song! [Refrain] 3 S-O-L-D-I-E-R, Soldier, spells, you know, P-I-L-G-R-I-M, Pilgrim, ain’t that so? We’ll repeat it o’er again, We’ll be right instead of wrong, See us make the sing for rain As we sing our song! [Refrain] 4 Little Christian girls and boys, No humbugs are we; For the right we’ll make a noise, Clapping hands with glee! God will bless us ev’ry one, If we’re right instead of wrong, For the sake of His dear Song, Let us sing our song! [Refrain] Used With Tune: [We are Christian Soldier Boys]
