ENLARGED SONGS AND SOLOS.

Hold the Fort.

“That which ye have hold fast till I come."--Rev. ii. 25.

Tune -Sacred Songs and Solos, No. I.
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.”
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 trumpet blow!
In our Leader's name we'll triumph

Over every foe!
4 Fierce and long the battle rages,

But our help is near :
Onward comes our great Coinmander,

Cheer, my comrades, cheer !

The Gate Ajay for De.

;

“The gates of it shall not be shut at all by day; for there shall be no

night there.”-REV. xxi. 25.
Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 2.
THER
'HERE is a gate that stands ajar,

And through its portals gleaming
A radiance from the cross afar,

The Saviour's love revealing.
Oh, depth of mercy ! can it be That gate was left ajar for me?
For me, for me, for me, for me? Was left ajar for me?
