American Old Time Song Lyrics: 36 Hold The Fort

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 36

HOLD THE FORT.

Ho! my comrades, see the signal waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing-victory is night
"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 men around us falling, courage almost gone.
"Hold the fort, for I am coming," ' Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to Heaven-" By Thy Grare, we will."

See the glorious banner waving, hear the bugle blow;
In our Leader's name we'll triumph over every foe.
"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!
"Hold the fort, for I am coming," Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to Heaven-" By Thy Grace, we will."
