Ready when the Lord shall come;

Watching for the summons home.

O, to be ready, O, to be waiting,
Waiting for the Lord to come;

Watching for the summons home.

Ready for the call to go;
Washed in the crimson fountain,
Till ev’ry stain is white as snow. [Refrain]
3 O, to be robed and ready,
Ready, for it may be near;
When in a cloud of glory
Blessed Jesus shall appear. [Refrain]

Ready for eternal rest;
Ready to join the ransomed
In the city of the blest. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O, to be robed and ready] Text Sources: The Primitive Hymns, Spiritual Songs and Sacred Poems by B. Lloyd (La Mesa, CA: 1858)
