I’m a weary wayworn soldier,
In the service of the Lord;
Waiting for my Captain’s orders
To go home to my reward.
Chorus:
I am waiting, only waiting,
With the battle and the strife
Hoping when the warfare’s over
To receive a crown of life.
Just a few more heavy marches,
The my troubles will be o’er;
I shall lay aside my armor,
And go home forevermore.
(Chorus)
When for me the trumpet soundeth,
When I’ve fought the last food fight;
When I near the homeland portals
May I see the harbor light.
(Chorus)
