1 He can count on me when the firing line
Bravely stand to face the foe;
With my Captain near I shall have no fear—
Where He calls me I will go.

Refrain:
He can count on me, He can count on me
When the bugle call shall sound!
He can count on me, always count on me,
Ever faithful I’ll be found.

2 He can count on me thro’ the long, long days
Just to do my little part,
Looking up to Him thro’ the shadows dim
With a loyal, faithful heart. [Refrain]

3 He can count on me, for I’m pledged to Him
Till this life on earth shall end,
Till my work is done and the glad rest won—
Yes, on me He can depend. [Refrain]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
