Ho! my comrades, see the signal

Ho, my comrades! see the signal waving in the sky! Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh. Refrain: "Hold the fort, for I am coming," Jesus signals still; wave the answer back to heaven, "By Thy grace we will." See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on; mighty ones around us falling, courage almost gone! Refrain Fierce and long the battle rages, but our help is near; onward comes our great Commander, cheer, my comrades, cheer! Refrain
