  *++Lyrics:|\\
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.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
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.\\
\\
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."\\
\\
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.\\
\\
