2.- HOLD THE FORT

HOLD THE FORT 1 Ho! my comrades, see the signal, Waving in the sky! Reinforcements now appearing, Victory is nigh! {name: 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. {name:_Refrain}_ 3 See the glorious banner waving, Hear the bugle blow; In our Leader's Name we triumph Over every foe. {name:_Refrain}_ 4 Fierce and long the battle rages, But our help is near; Onward comes our great Commander, Cheer, my comrades, cheer! {name:_Refrain}_ Gospel Songs, 1874
