88. The Coming of the King

Are you ready for the coming of the King?
Lo, the day of the Lord is near at hand;
he has told us to watch lest He find us asleep,
Are you heeding His earnest command?

Chorus:
Are you ready
For the coming,
he has said He is coming by and by;
He will come to receive us to mansions above,
Are you ready for the midnight cry?

In the splendor and the majesty of heav’n,
Unto those who His coming gladly wait;
With ten thousand bright saints will our Savior appear,
Jesus cometh, He cometh in state.

Are you ready for the coming of the King?
He has promised, His word can never fail;
Those who look for His coming shall not be afraid,
But in Jesus, the Lord, shall prevail.
