The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#107

107. Are You Ready?

1 Soon the evening shadows falling
Close the day of mortal life:
Soon the hand of death appalling
Draws thee from its weary strife.

Refrain:
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
'Tis the Spirit calling, why delay?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Do not linger longer, come to-day.

2 Soon the awful trumpet sounding
Calls thee to the judgment throne;
Now prepare, for love abounding
Yet has left thee not alone. [Refrain]

3 O how fatal 'tis to linger!
Are you ready—ready now?
Ready, should death's icy finger
Lay its chill upon thy brow? [Refrain]

4 Priceless love and free salvation
Freely still are offered thee;
Yield no longer to temptation,
But from sin and sorrow flee. [Refrain]
