Victory Songs ‎#230

230. 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 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]
