E1:Ho, my com_rades, see the sig_nal, wa_ving in the sky!/Re_in_force_ments now ap_pea_ring, vic_to_ry is nigh./${R=}“Hold the fort, for I am co_ming,” Je_sus sig_nals still;/Wave the ans_wer back to hea_ven, “By Thy grace we will.”
E2:See the migh_ty host ad_van_cing, Sa_tan lea_ding on,/Migh_ty ones a_round us fal_ling, cou_rage al_most gone!
E3:See the glo_rious ban_ner wa_ving, Hear the trum_pet blow!/In our Lea_der's Name we tri_umph o_ver e_very foe.
E4:Fierce and long the bat_tle ra_ges, but our help is near,/On_ward comes our great Com_man_der, cheer, my com_rades, cheer!/
