12680. Are You Ready For His Coming?

1 Are you ready for His coming, friend?
He is coming by and by;
For He said He would not tarry long
In His Father’s house on high.

Refrain:
Are you ready, should He come for you?
Ready now with Him on high to go?
Are you watching, are you praying still?
Are your garments white as snow?

2 Are you ready for His coming, friend?
Are your garments clean and white?
Will you gladly greet the Bridegroom now?
He may come for you tonight. [Refrain]

3 He will come in all His glory bright,
As upon the mount He stood;
Can you sing the glad hosanna loud,
"I am washed in Jesus’ blood"? [Refrain]

4 Oh, the day draws nearer, nearer still,
When the saints He will redeem;
Now the light of morn is breaking fast,
We can see its golden beam. [Refrain]

5 Yes, we’re ready for His coming now,
And we watch, and wait and pray
For the day to dawn in glory bright,
And the night to roll away. [Refrain]

6 We are ready should He come for us,
Ready now in peace to go!
We are watching, and we’re waiting still,
With our robes as white as snow. [Refrain]
