Text: | Hold the Fort |
Author: | Philip P. Bliss, 1838-1876 |
Tune: | [Ho, my comrades, see the signal] |
Composer: | Philip P. Bliss, 1838-1876 |
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 bugle blow!
In our Leader's name we 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]
