Representative Text

1 There we all shall praise him,
Songs of rapture raise him,
Hallelujah, shouting in that home;
There with him we shall dwell,
Who fully conquered death and hell,
Are you ready for that time to come?

Refrain:
Oh, be ready, fully ready!
Oh, be ready, fully ready!
Both in heart and soul prepare for that glad clime!
Oh, be ready, fully ready!
Oh, be ready, fully ready!
Oh, be ready for that happy clime!

2 There’ll be no more sorrow
On that golden morrow,
There’ll be no more grieving in that home;
When the souls God will own,
Shall gather round his great white throne,
Are you ready for that time to come? [Refrain]

3 No more moans of sadness,
But the shouts of gladness,
There’ll be songs of vict’ry in that home;
With the loved gone before,
We praise the Lamb forevermore,
Are you ready for that time to come? [Refrain]

4 There’ll be crowns of glory,
There’ll be palms of vict’ry,
There’ll be notes of triumph in that home;
The redeemed from their Lord
Shall all receive their great reward,
Are you ready for that time to come? [Refrain]
