Representative Text

1 Who is ready, who is willing.
To acknowledge Christ the Lord,
And accept the terms of pardon,
Offered in His Holy Word.

Chorus:
Do not wait another moment,
Now begin your life anew,
O remember, O remember,
Time will never wait for you.

2 Who is ready, who is willing,
Humbly, truly to believe,
That by simple faith in Jesus,
His forgiveness will receive.
[Chorus]

3 Who is ready, who is willing,
In the ranks of truth to stand,
Who will bear the Gospel Banner,
With a bold and fearless hand. [Chorus]

4 Is there one among our number,
Ready, willing now to say,
I would like to find the Saviour,
Come at once, without delay. [Chorus]

Author: W. Howard Doane

An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman… Go to person page >
