Now the time is drawing near,
For the fi­nal trum­pet’s sound;
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the Lord?
Living saints will be trans­lat­ed,
And the dead rise from the ground;
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the Lord?

Refrain

Are you rea­dy, are you rea­dy?
Are you ready for the com­ing of the Lord?
Are you watch­ing, are you wait­ing?
Are you rea­dy, watch­ing, wait­ing for the Lord?

You’re in­vit­ed to the feast
Of the Bride­groom and the bride;
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the Lord?
You must give up all your fol­ly,
All your fa­shion and your pride;
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the Lord?

Refrain

Soon the judg­ment day will come,
With its fi­nal, aw­ful doom;
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the Lord?
All the ones who slight God’s mer­cy
At the door will find no room;
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the Lord?

Refrain

But ’twill be a gold­en day,
If we’re faith­ful to the end;
Are you rea­dy for the com­ing of the Lord?
Earthly sor­rows passed for­ev­er,
And eter­nal life be­gun;
Are you ready for the com­ing of the Lord?

Refrain
