Representative Text

1 What if the Master should call you today,
Would you be ready to go?
Live in that city with loved ones for aye,
Never a sorrow to know.

Refrain:
Would you be ready to go with the Lord
To the bright mansions above?
Are you prepared now to enter that home
Where all is gladness and love?

2 Can't you remember the words that He spoke
When He said follow thou me?
He was then thinking how easy His yoke,
How sad your lost soul would be. [Refrain]

3 Come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide,
Jesus the Lord bids you come;
You may forever with Him there abide
In that glad heavenly home. [Refrain]
