The Great Day

The great day is near­ing

For Je­sus’ ap­pear­ing

And so would I watch

as I pray

With lamp trimmed and burn­ing

For my Lord’s re­turn­ing

Lest I be not rea­dy for that day;

I want to be rea­dy for that day.

I want to be rea­dy for that day

With lamp trimmed and burn­ing

For my Lord’s re­turn­ing;

I want to be rea­dy for that day.

But rich grace is of­fered

And strong help is prof­fered

That safe I may go on my way;

The truth ev­er know­ing

In grace ev­er grow­ing

O

I can be rea­dy for that day.

O

I can be rea­dy for that day;

Yes

I can be rea­dy for that day

With lamp trimmed and burn­ing

For my Lord’s re­turn­ing;

O

I can be rea­dy for that day.

That grace

I’ll re­ceive it

That word

I’ll be­lieve it

And walk­ing by faith all the way

When Je­sus shall call me

No fear shall a­ppall me

For I shall be rea­dy for that day.

O

I shall be rea­dy for that day;

Yes

I shall be rea­dy for that day

With lamp trimmed and burn­ing

For my Lord’s re­turn­ing;

O

I shall be rea­dy for that day.
