Are You Ready for the Coming?

Are you rea­dy for the com­ing

Of the Lord from Heav’n?

Are you rest­ing in the pro­mise

Which to us is giv’n?

Does your heart leap up with rap­ture

As you know He’s near?

Or do thoughts of His ap­pear­ing

Fill your heart with fear?

Are you rea­dy (are you rea­dy)

Are you rea­dy (are you rea­dy)

Are you rea­dy for the op­en­ing skies?

Are you rea­dy (are you rea­dy)

Are you rea­dy (are you rea­dy)

Are you rea­dy for that glad sur­prise?

If He came to call His peo­ple

Would you be dis­mayed?

Though your sins have been for­giv­en

Would you be afraid?

Would you be ashamed to meet Him

If He came to­day?

From the pre­sence of the Mas­ter

Would you shrink away?

To this world with all its plea­sures

Are you root­ed fast?

Would a call to leave it quick­ly

Be a wrench at last?

When He views your fin­ished life work

Will you suf­fer loss?

Will you find that you have ga­thered

Only worth­less dross?

Are you busy in His serv­ice

Though your heart is cold?

Are there pre­cious earth­ly trea­sures

Which you fond­ly hold?

Would He find you do­ing on­ly

What He could ap­prove?

Would He find you watch­ing

wait­ing

For the one you love?
