Ho, my comrades! see the signal Waving in the sky! Reinforcements now appearing, Victory is nigh!

"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!

See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow! In our Leader's name we'll triumph Over every foe!

Fierce and long the battle rages, But our help is near; Onward comes our great Commander; Cheer, my comrades, cheer!

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine can peace afford. I need Thee, oh, I need Thee; every hour I need Thee; Oh, bless me now, my Saviour! I come to Thee.

I need Thee every hour, stay Thou near by; Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.

I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain; Come quickly and abide, or life is vain.

I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will; And Thy rich promises in me fulfil.

I need Thee every hour, most Holy One: Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son.
