Do You Think I'll Make A Soldier? — Lyrics
1. Do you think I'll make a soldier, soldier?
Do you think I'll make a soldier, soldier?
Do you think I'll make a soldier, soldier?
In the year of jubilee.

Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory;
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory;
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory, In the year of jubilee.
2. Think I saw the mighty army, army.
