Are you ready now the feast to share?
Is your lamp all trimmed and bright,
Sending forth a radiant light?
Do you still the wedding garment wear?

Oh! be ready, when the Bridegroom comes,
Oh! be ready, when the Bridegroom comes,
Whether it be evening,
Or whether it be morning,
Oh! be ready when the Bridegroom comes!
2 Are you ready for the Bridegroom’s coming?
Has the summons reached a listening ear?
Are you watching all the day,
For the Bridegroom on His way?
Are you waiting till the Lord draws near? [Refrain]
3 Are you ready for the Bridegroom’s coming?
Are you going forth to meet Him, say?
He is coming, brother, see,
He is calling now for thee;
Oh! be ready, for He comes this way. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Are you ready for the Bridegroom’s coming]
Oh! Be Ready
