Ready

Representative Text

1 Ready to go, ready to wait,
Ready a gap to fill;
Ready for service, small or great,
Ready to do His will.

2 Ready to suffer grief and pain,
Ready to stand the test;
Ready to stay at home and send
Others, if He see best.

3 Ready to do, ready to bear,
Ready to watch and pray;
Ready to stand aside and give
Till He shall clear the way.

4 Ready to speak, ready to think,
Ready with heart and brain;
Ready to start when He sees fit,
Ready to share the strain.

5 Ready to seek, ready to warn,
Ready o’er souls to yearn;
Ready in life, ready in death,
Ready for His return.
