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.
