Are You Ready for the Coming?

Author: Ada Ruth Habershon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #218 First Line: Are you ready for the coming of the Lord from Heav'n? Refrain First Line: Are you ready (are you ready) Lyrics: 1. Are you ready for the coming of the Lord from Heav’n? Are you resting in the promise which to us is giv’n? Does your heart leap up with rapture as you know He’s near? Or do thoughts of His appearing fill your heart with fear? Refrain Are you ready (are you ready), Are you ready (are you ready), Are you ready for the opening skies? Are you ready (are you ready), Are you ready (are you ready), Are you ready for that glad surprise? 2. If He came to call His people would you be dismayed? Though your sins have been forgiven would you be afraid? Would you be ashamed to meet Him if He came today? From the presence of the Master would you shrink away? [Refrain] 3. To this world with all its pleasures are you rooted fast? Would a call to leave it quickly be a wrench at last? When He views your finished life work will you suffer loss? Will you find that you have gathered only worthless dross? [Refrain] 4. Are you busy in His service though your heart is cold? Are there precious earthly treasures which you fondly hold? Would He find you doing only what He could approve? Would He find you watching, waiting for the one you love? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Are you ready for the coming of the Lord from Heav'n?]

Ada R. Habershon

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Composer of "[Are you ready for the coming of the Lord from Heav'n?]" in The Cyber Hymnal Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday­-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman
