Oh, to Be Ready!
Author: Unknown Hymnal: Crowning Day, No. 6 #148 (1904) First Line: Oh, to be ready when death shall come Refrain First Line: Oh, to be ready Lyrics: 1 Oh, to be ready when death shall come,
Oh, to be ready to hasten home;
No earthly clinging, no ling’ring gaze,
No strife at parting, no sore amaze;
No chains to sever that earth hath twined,
No spell to loosen that love would bind.
Refrain:
Oh, to be ready,
Oh, to be ready,
Oh, to be ready to go to our home.
2 No flitting shadows to dim the light
Of angel pinions all winged for flight;
No cloudlike phantoms, to fling a gloom
Twixt heav’n’s bright portals and earth’s dark tomb;
But sweetly, gently, to pass away
From earth’s dim twilight to perfect day. [Refrain]
3 To list to the music of angel lyres,
To catch the rapture of seraph fires;
To lean in trust on the risen One,
Till borne away to a fadeless throne,
Then, oh, to be ready when death shall come,
And oh, to be ready to hasten home. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, to be ready when death shall come]

Person Name: Unknown Author of "Oh, to Be Ready!" in Crowning Day, No. 6 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
