1 I shall be ready to welcome the Savior,
I may behold Him descend from on High,
Clothed in His garments of heavenly splendor,
O what a day when the King shall draw nigh.

Refrain:
I shall be ready when Jesus comes,
When He comes, when He comes,
I shall be ready when Jesus comes,
When Jesus comes back for His own.

2 I shall be ready, for Him I have trusted,
Using the talents committed to me;
Things I once loved, from my heart have departed,
Living in Jesus my soul is made free. [Refrain]

3 Shall His returning to you mean a blessing?
Or will you tremble and fall down with fear?
How will He find you, denying, confessing?
Seek Him, believing, while yet He is near. [Refrain]

4 Reigning with Him, He has promised to make me
Heir unto God and Join-Heir with His son;
All shall be well when He comes back to take me,
Ruler and Lord of the world He has won. [Refrain]
