Ho! my comrades, see the signal
Jesus waves on high;
Satan’s battlements are reeling;
Hear our Captain’s cry.
“Storm the fort! For I am leading!
I have shown you how!”
Shout the answer back to Heaven,
“We are ready now!”
See! the lofty walls are frowning,
Held by Satan’s power;
Sin enshrouds the world in darkness;
Now’s the storming hour.
“Storm the fort! For I am leading!
I have shown you how!”
Shout the answer back to Heaven,
“We are ready now!”
See! the prophets now are showing
How the fort must fall;
There is no such thing as failing;
Shout, my comrades all.
“Storm the fort! For I am leading!
I have shown you how!”
Shout the answer back to Heaven,
“We are ready now!”
Fierce and long the siege has lasted,
But the end is near;
Onward leads our great Commander;
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!
“Storm the fort! For I am leading!
I have shown you how!”
Shout the answer back to Heaven,
“We are ready now!”
