Papa, Are You Ready?

Author: E. B. Rexford Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Willie bro't his little Bible Refrain First Line: Are you ready for His coming Lyrics: 1. Willie bro't his little Bible, With a grave and thoughtful look In the eyes he lifted to me From the pages of the book; "Tell me what this means, dear papa?" And he read me from God's word What it says of being ready For the coming of the Lord. Chorus: Are you ready for His coming, Be that coming soon or late; Will you go and meet Him gladly When He knocketh at the gate? No! I cannot meet Him gladly, I'm not ready now, I know, And it may be that His footsteps Even now are at the door. 2. When I told him of the meaning Of the words that he had read, He was silent for a moment, Then looked up at me and said: "Tell me, are you ready, papa?" O the child could little know How the simple question thrilled me As in shame I answered: "No!" [Chorus] 3. "If you can't tell when He's coming, I should think you'd want to be Always ready," said my Willie, Looking gravely up at me. "Should He come tonight and call you, You would have to say to Him: "I'm not ready, O dear papa!" And his eyes with tears were dim. [Chorus] 4. Then I clasped my darling closer, Smitten with a sudden fear, For the words that he had spoken Seemed to bring life's end so near, And my heart cried: "O my Master, There shall be no more delay, Make me ready for Thy coming, Be that coming when it may!" Chorus: Are you ready for His coming, Be that coming soon or late? Will you go and meet Him gladly When He knocketh at the gate? Yes! I'm ready now to meet Him, Be that coming soon or late; I can run and meet Him gladly When He knocketh at the gate! Scripture: Matthew 24:36-44 Used With Tune: [Willie bro't his little Bible]

A Little More Rough Tossing

Author: F. A. B. Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. A little more rough tossing, Life's boist'rous sea while crossing, And we shall land upon the strand, Where all is calm and fair; Beyond the breakers' power, Where tempests never lower; And all who gain that blest domain, Shall rest and glory share. 2. A few more days of sighing, Of sorrow and of crying, And ev'ry tear shall disappear From ev'ry weeping eye; No shade of earthly sorrow, Shall dim that fair tomorrow; O glory bright, beyond earth's night, My faith beholds Thee nigh! 3. A few more days to tarry, Life's burdens still to carry, Along the path, our Saviour hath Ordained that we should go, Oppressed by cares and dangers, As pilgrims and as strangers; And then the life with glory rife, That ne'er an ill shall know.
