A WARRIOR GOES HOME
YEARS
ONLY REMEMBERED
1. Fading away like the stars in the morning,
Losing their light in the glorious sun.
Thus would we pass from this earth and its
toiling,
Only remembered for what we have done.
2. Only remembered, only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done.
Thus would we pass from this earth and its
toiling,
Only remembered for what we have done.
3. Only the truth that in life we have spoken,
Only the seed that in life we have sown.
These shall pass onwards when we are
forgotten,
Only remembered for what we have done.
4. Who’ll sing the anthem and who’ll tell the
story?
Will the line hold, will it scatter and run?
Shall we at last be united in glory?
Only remembered for what we have done.
HOLD THE FORT
1. Ho! My comrades, see the signal,
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh!
Chorus:
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,”
Jesus signals still,
Wave the answer back to Heaven,
“By Thy grace we will.”
2. See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on;
Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone.
3. See the glorious banner waving,
Hear the bugle blow;
In our Leader’s Name we triumph
Over every foe.
4. Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near;
Onward comes our great Commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!
