104. Be Ready When He Comes

1 Jesus Christ, who came to earth and died for me,
Heaven's King who conquered death and left the tomb,
Soon is coming back again, again is coming back again, again.
Is coming back to bear the faithful home.

Refrain:
Ready when He comes, ready Christ to meet,
Ready with the shout of joy the King of kings to meet;
Nobly do His will each day, each day, and truly Him obey,
and then be ready when He comes.

2 He may come at quiet dawn or sunny noon,
In the gloomy hour of midnight it might be;
We shall never know the hour, the hour, shall never never know the hour, the hour.
Until in all His glory Him we see. [Refrain]

3 Are we living as we should from day to day?
Do we let the gospel banner proudly wave?
Are we telling of His love His love, to should who sin and rove, yes rove?
O are we helping HIm the world to save! [Refrain]
