Triumphant Songs No.4 ‎#142

142. Oh! Be Ready

1 Are you ready for the Bridegroom’s coming?
Are you ready now the feast to share?
Is your lamp all trimmed and bright,
Sending forth a radiant light?
Do you still the wedding garment wear?

Refrain:
Oh! be ready, when the Bridegroom comes,
Oh! be ready, when the Bridegroom comes,
Whether it be evening,
Or whether it be morning,
Oh! be ready when the Bridegroom comes!

2 Are you ready for the Bridegroom’s coming?
Has the summons reached a listening ear?
Are you watching all the day,
For the Bridegroom on His way?
Are you waiting till the Lord draws near? [Refrain]

3 Are you ready for the Bridegroom’s coming?
Are you going forth to meet Him, say?
He is coming, brother, see,
He is calling now for thee;
Oh! be ready, for He comes this way. [Refrain]
