Hold the Fort

Verse 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, (Rev. 2:25, Rev. 3:11)
Je­sus sig­nals still;
Wave the an­swer back to Heav­en,
By Thy grace we will.

Verse 2
See the migh­ty host ad­vanc­ing,
Sa­tan lead­ing on;
Mighty ones around us fall­ing,
Cour­age al­most gone!

Verse 3
See the glo­ri­ous ban­ner wav­ing! (Isa. 11:12, Isa. 59:19)
Hear the trum­pet blow! (Joel 2:1)
In our lead­er’s name we tri­umph (II Cor. 2:14)
Ov­er ev’ry foe.

Verse 4
Fierce and long the bat­tle rag­es,
But our help is near; (Ps. 46:1)
Onward comes our great com­mand­er, (Isa. 55:4)
Cheer, my com­rades, cheer!
