Author: Philip Paul Bliss (1838-76) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #804 (1986) First Line: Ho, my comrades, see the signal Lyrics: 1 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.
2 See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on;
Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone.
3 See the glorious banner waving,
Hear the trumpet blow;
In our leader’s name we’ll triumph
Over every foe.
4 Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near;
Onward comes our great commander;
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!
