<p>The Lord is coming by and by,<br>
Be ready when He comes;<br>
He comes from His fair home on high,<br>
Be ready when He comes;<br>
He is the Lord our Righteousness,<br>
And comes His chosen ones to bless,<br>
And at His Father&#8217;s throne confess;<br>
Be ready when He comes.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes?<br>
Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes?<br>
Will your lamps be trimmed and bright,<br>
Be it morning, noon or night?<br>
Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes?</p>
<p>He soon will come to earth again,<br>
Be ready when He comes;<br>
Begin His universal reign,<br>
Be ready when He comes;<br>
With hallelujahs heav&#8217;n will ring,<br>
When Jesus does redemption bring;<br>
O trim your lamps to meet your King!<br>
Be ready when He comes.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Behold! He comes to one and all,<br>
Be ready when He comes;<br>
He quickly comes with trumpet call,<br>
Be ready when He comes;<br>
To judgment called at His command,<br>
Drawn thither by His mighty hand,<br>
Before His throne we all must stand;<br>
Be ready when He comes.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
