The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#804

804. Ho, my comrades, see the signal

1 Ho, my comrades, see the signal
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh.

Refrain:
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.

3 See the glorious banner waving,
Hear the trumpet blow;
In our leader’s name we’ll triumph
Over every foe.

4 Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near;
Onward comes our great commander;
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!
