I’ll Be Ready for His Coming

Author: C. Austin Miles Hymnal: Songs of Christian Service #65 (1903) First Line: When Jesus comes in glory to call his loved ones home Refrain First Line: I’ll be ready for his coming, when he comes Lyrics: 1 When Jesus comes in glory to call his loved ones home, To bear his ransomed ones from earth away; It may be in the morning, it may be in the night, It may be at the dawn of day. Refrain: I’ll be ready for his coming, when he comes, I’ll be ready for his coming, when he comes; I am now a child of God, For I’m saved thro’ Jesus’ blood, I’ll be ready for his coming, when he comes. 2 It may be in the spring time amid the bud and bloom, It may be when the hills with snow are white, That Christ in all his glory shall call his own away To regions of eternal light. [Refrain] 3 I’ll watch for his appearing with heart kept free from sin, I’ll strive to live more like him every day, That should he come in glory ere death should seal my lips, He’ll bear me to my home away. [Refrain] 4 So, then, I’ll e’er be watching and praying as I wait, For tho’ the time to no one is made known, The hour may be approaching when to the radiant skies The King of kings shall call his own. [Refrain] Tune Title: [When Jesus comes in glory to call his loved ones home]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Author of "I'll Be Ready for His Coming" Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
