The Lord is coming by-and-by : Be ready when He comes ! He comes from His fair home on high : Be ready when He comes ! He h the Lord our Righteousness, And comes His chosen ones to bless, And at His Father's throne confess :
Be ready when He comes ! Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes ? . . . Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes ? . , . Will your lamps be trimmed and bright, Be it morning, noon, or night ? Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes ?
2. He soon will come to earth again : Be ready when He comes ! Begin His universal reign : Be ready when He comes ! With hallelujahs heaven will ring, When Jesus doth redemption bring; Oh, trim your lamps to meet your King ! Be ready when He comes !
3. Behold ! He comes to one and all : Be ready when He comes ! And soon we'll hear the trumpet call : Be ready when He comes ! To Judgment called at His command, From every clime, from every land, Before His throne we all must stand : Be ready when He comes !
