Close the day of mortal life;
Soon the hand of death appalling
Draws thee from its weary strife.
Chorus:
Are you ready? Are you ready?
'Tis the Spirit calling, why delay?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Do not linger longer, come today.
2 Soon the awful trumpet sounding
Calls thee to the judgment throne;
Now prepare; for love abounding
Yet has left thee not alone. [Chorus]
3 O how fatal 'tis to linger?
Are thou ready ready now?
Ready, should Death's icy finger
Lay its chill upon thy brow? [Chorus]
4 Priceless love and free salvation
Freely still are offered thee;
Yield no longer to temptation,
But from sin and sorrow flee. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Scripture: Matthew 24:44 Tune Title: ARE YOU READY?
