1 Are you rea­dy for the dawn­ing
Of that morn­ing bright and fair,
When you’ll see the Sav­ior com­ing
With the an­gels in the air?
Is your life re­deemed and spot­less,
Are your gar­ments white as snow?
Could you wel­come now your Sav­ior,
And with Him to glo­ry go?

Refrain:
When you stand be­fore the throne,
Will you be un­saved, un­known?
Or among the pure and blest
Who shall gain eter­nal rest?

2 When the na­tions have been ga­thered
From the land and from the sea,
And the liv­ing been trans­lat­ed
With their Lord for aye to be,
And you stand at last in judg­ment,
Knowing earth­ly ties are riv’n,
Will a place of end­less ang­uish,
Or a crown of life be giv’n? [Refrain]

3 When the great tri­bun­al’s ov­er,
And the saved have heard "Well done,"
And are sing­ing hal­le­lu­jahs
To the Fa­ther and the Son,
Will you be among the num­ber,
Pain and sor­row passed away,
There to reign with Him in glad­ness
Thro’ one bright eter­nal day? [Refrain]
