HOLD THE FORT by Philip P. Bliss — Lyrics

VERSE 1 Ho! my comrades, see the signal waving in the sky, Reinforcement now appearing, Victory is nigh. VERSE 2 See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on, Mighty men around us falling, Courage almost gone. VERSE 3 See the glorious banner waving, Hear the trumpet blow, In our Leader's name we triumph Over every foe. VERSE 4 Fierce and long the battle rages, But our help is near, Onward comes our Great Commander, Cheer! My comrades cheer! CHORUS "Hold the fort, for I am coming" Jesus signals still, Wave the answer back to heaven, "By Thy grace, we will!"
