146. There's A Great Day Coming

1 There's a great day coming,
A great day coming,
There's a great day coming by and by;
When the saints and the sinners shall be parted right and left,
Are you ready for that day to come?

Refrain:
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready for the judgment day?
Are you ready?
Are you ready for the judgment day?

2 There's a bright day coming,
A bright day coming,
There's a bright day coming by and by;
But its brightness shall only come to those who love the Lord,
Are you ready for that day to come? [Refrain]

3 There's a sad day coming,
A sad day coming,
There's a sad day coming by and by;
When the sinner shall hear his doom, "Depart, I know ye not,"
"Are you ready for that day to come?" [Refrain]
