Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the Lord to­day?
Oh, get rea­dy, oh, get rea­dy!
Soon the king­doms of this earth will ev­er pass away,
Oh, get rea­dy for the last great day.

Refrain

Oh, get rea­dy for the com­ing, it will not be ve­ry long,
Oh, get rea­dy for the meet­ing in the air;
Will you greet the Sav­ior’s coming with a shout and song?
Or be filled with fear and cold des­pair?

Oh, how sad it then will be to hear the Sav­ior say!
Oh, get rea­dy, oh, get rea­dy!
Into ev­er­last­ing pun­ish­ment now pass away;
Oh, get rea­dy ere that aw­ful day.

Refrain

Will you be among the num­ber that shall hear Him say?
Oh, get rea­dy, oh, get rea­dy!
You’ve in­her­it­ed a king­dom, ne’er to pass away;
Oh, get rea­dy for that hap­py day.

Refrain

Won’t that be a hap­py meet­ing when we all get there?
Oh, get rea­dy, oh, get rea­dy!
When re­deemed ones of all ag­es shall meet in the air,
Oh, get rea­dy for that bless­èd day.

Refrain
