16850. I'll Be Ready

1 When Je­sus shall come again
By and by,
I’ll be rea­dy to go;
He’s pro­mised to ga­ther
His saints in the sky—
I’ll be rea­dy to go.

Refrain:
I’ll be rea­dy, I’ll be rea­dy,
I’ll be rea­dy to go;
I’ll be rea­dy, I’ll be rea­dy,
I’ll be rea­dy to go.

2 No mat­ter what day or what
Hour it shall be,
I’ll be rea­dy to go;
The signs of His com­ing
I’m watch­ing to see—
I’ll be rea­dy to go. [Refrain]

3 Should He come in morn­ing, or
At the noon day,
I’ll be rea­dy to go;
Or late in the ev­en­ing
As light fades away—
I’ll be rea­dy to go. [Refrain]

4 But if the Lord tar­ry till
Midnight so late,
I’ll be rea­dy to go;
With lamp trimmed and burn­ing
I’ll pa­tient­ly wait—
I’ll be rea­dy to go. [Refrain]

5 I long for His com­ing, I
Sigh for sweet rest;
I’ll be rea­dy to go;
He’ll take me to Heav­en,
The home of the blest—
I’ll be rea­dy to go. [Refrain]
