The Cyber Hymnal ‎#1735

1735. Get Ready to Welcome the King!

1. A servant of Jesus am I,
To you this message I bring:
The night is far spent, the day dawns at length;
Get ready to welcome the King!

Refrain
Get ready to welcome the King,
Get ready to welcome the King;
The night is far spent, the day dawns at length,
Get ready to welcome the King!

2. Dark evil has long held its sway;
Its end is coming and near,
For Jesus, God’s Son, shall come t]o His throne,
The Savior to sinners so dear. [Refrain

3. All power to Jesus is giv’n,
Ascended to Heav’n again;
He humbled Himself to die on the cross,
But soon He is coming to reign. [Refrain]
