36. Are You Ready?

1 Are you ready for the coming of the Master?
For that glorious time is surely drawing near,
Are you doing what you can to bring it faster?
When the Lord in power and glory shall appear.

Chorus:
Oh, be ready for the coming of the King,
Oh, be ready, help that joyful day to bring,
Oh, be ready, faithful to the promise cling,
Of the coming, of the coming of the Master.

2 Does the thought of Jesus coming bring you sorrow?
Does it bring the burning sweat drops to your brow?
Will the day of judgment be a black tomorrow?
Will you not accept His offered pardon now? [Chorus]

3 Do you still reject His offer of salvation?
Do you still keep Jesus standing at the door?
Oh, repent and give to Him the invitation
To come in and reign as Lord for evermore. [Chorus]
