Storm the Fort

Composer: John Tenney

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.

See! the pro­phets now are show­ing

How the fort must fall;

There is no such thing as fail­ing;

Shout

my com­rades all.

Fierce and long the siege has last­ed

But the end is near;

Onward leads our great com­mand­er;

Cheer

my com­rades

cheer!
