Are you rea­dy, wait­ing for the Lord?
See, the signs pro­claim Him near,
In the aw­ful thun­ders of His word,
Now His coming steps we hear.

Refrain

Thou art com­ing, O my Sav­ior,
Who can stand Thy flam­ing light?
How the burn­ing of Thy Spir­it
Sweeps away the works of night;
Quickly com­ing in Thy glo­ry,
With Thy bright an­gel­ic train,
We shall see Thee in Thy beau­ty,
And for­ev­er with Thee reign.

Now are ma­ny run­ning to and fro,
Spreading ho­li­ness around,
And the ev­en­ing light be­gins to glow,
Soon we’ll hear the trum­pet’s sound.

Refrain

Hark! the so­lemn warn­ing un­to all,
Judgment’s com­ing, oh, how soon;
Flee, O man, at mer­cy’s fi­nal call,
Heaven trem­bles at your doom.

Refrain

As the light­ning flash­es east and west,
Comes the Lord in flam­ing fire;
Oh, what glo­ry thrills each ho­ly breast!
Sinners melt be­neath His ire.

Refrain

Christ is com­ing, oh, the heav’n­ly sight!
Our be­lov­èd can’t de­lay,
For His bride is robed in snowy white,
Ready for the mar­riage day.
