Lyrics

Are you rea­dy when the Bride­groom comes?
Are you rea­dy when the Bride­groom comes?
If He comes at noon or night,
Will it fill you with de­light,
Or will you de­plore the sight, if He comes?

Refrain

If He comes, if He comes,
Are you rea­dy, watch­ing, wait­ing if He comes?
If He comes, if He comes,
Are you rea­dy if the Bride­groom comes?

Are you rea­dy when the Bride­groom comes?
Are you rea­dy when the Bride­groom comes?
If He comes with­out de­lay,
Will He find you in dis­may,
Pleading for a chance to pray, If He comes?

Refrain

Are you rea­dy when the Bride­groom comes?
Are you rea­dy when the Bride­groom comes?
You will hear Him at the door
Saying, Time shall be no more,
Your pro­ba­tion now is o’er,
if He comes.

Refrain

Are you rea­dy when the Bride­groom comes?
Are you rea­dy when the Bride­groom comes?
If you’re not pre­pared to go,
You will sink to end­less woe,
Be for­ev­er lost, you know, if He comes.

Refrain
