120. Hold the Fort

1 Ho! my comrades, see the signal,
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements 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 glorious banner waving,
Hear the trumpet blow;
In our Leader’s Name we triumph
Over every foe. [Chorus]
