Text: | Hold the Fort |
Author: | P. P. Bliss |
Tune: | [Ho! my comrades, see the signal] |
Composer: | P. P. Bliss |
1 Ho! my comrades, see the signal
Waving in the sky!
Re-enforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh!
Chorus:
"Hold the fort, for I am coming,"
Jesus signals still,
Wave the answer back to Heaven,
“By Thy grace we will.”
2 See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on:
Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone. [Chorus]
3 See the glor'ous banner waving,
Hear the bugle blow;
In our Leader’s name we'll triumph
Over ev'ry foe. [Chorus]
4 Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near;
Onward comes our Great Commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer! [Chorus]
