Composer: | Philip Paul Bliss |

1. Only an armor bearer, firmly I stand,
Waiting to follow at the King’s command;
Marching, if Onward shall the order be,
Standing by my Captain, serving faithfully.
Refrain
Hear ye the battle cry! Forward! the call;
See, see the falt’ring ones, backward they fall;
Surely my Captain may depend on me,
Tho’ but an armor bearer I may be;
Surely my Captain may depend on me,
Tho’ but an armor bearer I may be.
2. Only an armor bearer, now in the field,
Guarding a shining helmet, sword, and shield,
Waiting to hear the thrilling battle cry,
Ready then to answer, Master, here am I. [Refrain]
3. Only an armor bearer, yet may I share
Glory immortal, and a bright crown wear;
If in the battle to my trust I’m true,
Mine shall be the honors in the Grand Review. [Refrain]
