50. Simply an Armor-Bearer

1 Simply an armor-bearer, lo! I stand,
Ready, waiting, willing, at the Lord’s command;
Into the conflict, and against the foe,
Where the King commandeth I will gladly go.

Refrain:
On the way to glory,
Marching on, marching on
On the way to glory,
Marching ‘gainst the foe.

2 Simply an armor-bearer, I can see
Where the foe is strongest, there is need of me;
And as a loyal soldier, I’ll appear
On the field of conflict with a song of cheer. [Refrain]

3 Simply an armor-bearer, who shall say
That the Lord will turn me from the field away?
Lo! He is calling, and His promise true,
Is to all who faithfully His work pursue. [Refrain]
