Author: Mary E. Willson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16384 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: What of the future, my brother Refrain First Line: Make thyself ready, my brother Lyrics:
1 What of the future, my brother—
After this world and its strife?
Is there no light for thee yonder,
Bright’ning the oncoming life?
Refrain:
Make thyself ready, my brother,
Ready to meet the dear Lord,
Knowing that soon He will call you—
Call you to meet your reward.
2 What of the future, my brother?
Can you not see thro’ the gloom
Veiling the pathway before you?
Is it all dark in the tomb? [Refrain]
3 What of the future, my brother?
Get thyself ready tonight,
Fearing that God’s Holy Spirit,
Grieved and sad, takes His flight. [Refrain]
4 What of the future, my brother?
Turn not away from the love
Of the dear Savior who draws thee
To Him, and mansions above. [Refrain]
