17079. Don't You Want to Be Ready?

1. Oh! there is a time
When the mes­sage will come:
Don’t you want to be rea­dy to go?
Oh! sin­ner, the Sav­ior
In­vites you to­day:
Will you hear and make rea­dy to go?

Refrain

Ready to go, rea­dy to go;
Don’t you want to be rea­dy to go?
Ready to go, rea­dy to go;
Don’t you want to be rea­dy to go?

2. Today is the day
Of sal­va­tion for all:
Can you say you are rea­dy to go?
A home and a crown
Are await­ing for thee:
Will you come and be rea­dy to go?

Refrain

3. Oh! yes, there’s a time
When the mes­sage will come:
Are you wil­ling and rea­dy to go?
This mo­ment the Sav­ior
Is plead­ing for thee;
Sinner, say, are you rea­dy to go?

Refrain
