Lyrics

A ser­vant of Je­sus am I,
To you this mes­sage I bring:
The night is far spent, the day dawns at length;
Get rea­dy to wel­come the King!

Refrain

Get rea­dy to wel­come the King,
Get rea­dy to wel­come the King;
The night is far spent, the day dawns at length,
Get rea­dy to wel­come the King!

Dark ev­il has long held its sway;
Its end is com­ing and near,
For Je­sus, God’s Son, shall come to His throne,
The Sav­ior to sin­ners so dear.

Refrain

All pow­er to Je­sus is giv’n,
Ascended to Heav’n again;
He hum­bled Him­self to die on the cross,
But soon He is com­ing to reign.
