The Cyber Hymnal ‎#14956

14956. Are You Ready?

1 There’s no hope beyond the grave, my brother;
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?
In the blindness of thy sinning go no further;
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?

Refrain:
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?

2 There’s a life beyond this life of sorrows;
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?
He may summon you to come to Him tomorrow;
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord? [Refrain]

3 Do not think to tarry here forever;
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?
From the ties of earthly friendship you must sever;
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord? [Refrain]

4 Would you spend eternity in Heaven?
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?
To redeem you Jesus’ precious blood was given;
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord? [Refrain]
