Should the death an­gel knock at thy cham­ber,
In the still watch of to­night,
Say, will your spirit pass in­to tor­ment,
Or to the land of de­light?

Refrain

Say, are you rea­dy? Oh, are you rea­dy?
If the death an­gel should call?
Say, are you rea­dy? Oh, are you rea­dy?
Mercy stands wait­ing for all.

Many sad spir­its now are de­part­ing
Into the world of des­pair;
Every brief mo­ment brings your doom near­er;
Sinner, O sin­ner, be­ware!

Refrain

Many re­deemed ones now are as­cend­ing
Into the man­sions of light;
Jesus is plead­ing, pa­tient­ly plead­ing,
Oh, let Him save you to­night.
