The Cyber Hymnal ‎#15442

15442. Are You Ready?

1 There’s a last day coming by and by,
When the sun shall fade, and mountains disappear;
When the moon shall vanish from the midnight sky;
Oh, be ready, for the day is near!

Refrain:
Oh, are you ready?
Are you ready for the last great day to come?
Oh, are you ready?
Ready for the judgment day?

2 There’s a last day coming by and by,
When the living and the dead a voice shall hear;
Shall awake and answer to the Bridegroom’s cry;
Oh, be ready, for the day is near! [Refrain]

3 There’s a last day coming by and by,
When from things of earth and friends we hold so dear,
We must part rejoicing, or with sad goodbye;
Oh, be ready, for the day is near! [Refrain]
