1 There’s a last day coming, by and by, by and by,
When the sun shall fade, and mountains disappear;
When the moon shall vanish from the midnight sky,
Oh, be ready, for the day is near!

Refrain:
Oh, are you ready,
Are you ready for the last great day to come?
Oh, are you ready,
Ready for the judgment day?

2 There’s a last day coming, by and by, by and by,
When the living and the dead a voice shall hear;
Shall awake and answer to the Bridegroom’s cry,
Oh, be ready, for the day is near! [Refrain]

3 There’s a last day coming, by and by, by and by,
When from things of earth and friends we hold so dear,
We must part rejoicing, or with sad goodby,
Oh, be ready, for the day is near! [Refrain]
