1. Soon rapture will be over
The slack will stunned recover
None can think that he can pray
Pray His grace to aid and stay
A fear will all envelop
An eerie state develop
As snare that day will come; Prepare !
CHORUS
Prepare yourself to meet your God
Change your way, watch and pray
When He comes as King and the angles sing,
“Hallelujah Hallelujah”
Be ready to say, “Lord Jesus, comes, Hallelujah”
Hallelujah, Hallelujah !
O ! Be ready to stay, “Lord Jesus, come Hallelujah”.
2.Your glorious past endeavor
Can hold you worthy never,
Naught can stand you in god stead
If by Spirit you’re not led
By His will, be you holy
In spirit, soul and body
Be kept by Him until He comes!
3.Like those, the few in Sardis
Are you with garments spotless?
Such elect to Him will fly
In the twinkling of an eye
That God may say, “You’re worthy”;
Not come upon you stealthy,
Watch sinless at the tow’r, He comes !
4.Your cross may seem too heavy
Your grief to share none ready.
“O, in whom can I confide?
O, there’s none to take my side !”
Fret not thus; Jesus Loves you !
All things are of Him: He’s true
Cheer up, put off your gloom, He comes !
5.“That Jesus soon is coming
Is just a fancy thinking”
Scoffers saying thus will rise
And your zeal for God despise
Salvation now is nearer
Then when you met the Saviour
He that shall come will come, it’s time !
