Are you watching for the dawn­ing
Of the morn­ing that is near,
When the Lord shall be re­turn­ing
To re­ceive His child­ren dear?
Is your soul re­deemed and wait­ing?
Are you washed as white as snow?
Shall you wel­come the Re­deem­er?
Are you rea­dy now to go?

Refrain

O the judg­ment that is com­ing!
It is draw­ing ve­ry nigh!
Are you rea­dy? Are you wait­ing?
It is com­ing by and by.

When the na­tions all are ga­thered
From the land and from the sea,
To be judged by our Re­deem­er,
Christ the Lamb of Cal­va­ry,
You will al­so have to meet Him,
To the judg­ment you must go;
Will it be a day of glad­ness,
Or of ter­ror, grief and woe?

Refrain

Make your peace with your Re­deem­er,
Ere the time may be too late,
And when you would en­ter Heav­en,
You might find no op­en gate;
Oh, be rea­dy for the judg­ment,
Which will not be ve­ry long,
Then your hap­py soul shall meet Him
With the ev­er faith­ful throng.

Refrain
