First Line: The Lord is coming by-and-by ,

The Lord is coming by-and-by :
Be ready when He comes !
He comes from His fair home on high :
Be ready when He comes !
He h the Lord our Righteousness,
And comes His chosen ones to bless,
And at His Father's throne confess :

Be ready when He comes !
Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes ? . . .
Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes ? . , .
Will your lamps be trimmed and bright,
Be it morning, noon, or night ?
Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes ?

2 He soon will come to earth again :
Be ready when He comes !
Begin His universal reign :
Be ready when He comes !
With hallelujahs heaven will ring,
When Jesus doth redemption bring;
Oh, trim your lamps to meet your King !
Be ready when He comes !

3 Behold ! He comes to one and all :
Be ready when He comes !
And soon we'll hear the trumpet call :
Be ready when He comes !
To Judgment called at His command,
From every clime, from every land,
Before His throne we all must stand :
Be ready when He comes !
