Click to listen to the music of Hold The Fort and sing along!

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."

See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on
Mighty ones around us falling, courage almost gone!

Chorus:
"Hold the fort, for I am coming," Jesus signals still
Wave the answer back to Heaven, "By Thy grace we will."

See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow!
In our Leader's Name we triumph over ev'ry foe.

Chorus:
"Hold the fort, for I am coming," Jesus signals still
Wave the answer back to Heaven, "By Thy grace we will."

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."
