Waving in the sky!
Re-enforcements 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 every foe. [Chorus]
4 Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near;
Onward comes our great Commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer! [Chorus] Topics: Spiritual Songs Work and Mission Languages: English Tune Title: [Ho! my comrades, see the signal]
