Are you rea­dy, friend, to meet Him
Who has done so much for you?
Are you rea­dy, friend, to greet Him
When He comes and calls for you?
Life is short, and time is pass­ing,
Never to re­turn again;
All around us they are go­ing
From among the sons of men.

Refrain

Are you rea­dy, are you rea­dy,
When He comes to ga­ther
All His child­ren home?
Are your lamps all trimmed and burn­ing,
Do you wait your Lord’s re­turn­ing?
Are you rea­dy for the Bride­groom
When He comes?

Are you rea­dy, friend, to meet Him?
Are your trea­sures all above?
Are you rea­dy, friend, to greet Him
Who is Truth, and Life, and Love?
Is your lamp all trimmed and burn­ing
With a clear and cer­tain glow?
All around us they are go­ing;
Are you rea­dy, friend, to go?

Refrain

Are you rea­dy, friend, to meet Him
Should He call for you to­night?
Are you rea­dy, friend, to greet Him
Should He come in morn­ing light?
Have you lived for Christ, the Sav­ior—
Lived an ear­nest life and true?
All around us they are go­ing;
Soon He’ll come and call for you.

Refrain
