Lyrics

There’s a won­drous day ap­proach­ing ve­ry near;
Unto you ’tis swift­ly bear­ing joy or fear;
To the faith­ful ones deep glad­ness it will bring:
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the King?

Refrain

Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the King?
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the King?
Will He find you watch­ing, pray­ing,
And no sacr­ed trust be­tray­ing?
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the King?

Are you seek­ing spot­less gar­ments then to wear?
Robes of right­eous­ness, un­sul­lied, white and fair?
Songs of wel­come and re­joic­ing can you sing?
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the King?

Refrain

Shining an­gel throngs His ad­vent will pro­claim,
And the whole world will ex­alt His sac­red name;
Earth and Heav­en then with Je­sus’ praise will ring:
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the King?
