1.Laying up my treasures 

In my home above, 

Trusting, fully trusting 

In the Saviour’s love; 

Doing what I can 

For heaven’s Holy Dove, 

I’m getting ready

To leave this world. 

                  CHORUS 

I’m getting ready to leave this world, 

I’m getting ready for the gates of pearl; 

Keeping my garments white, 

Watching both day and night, 

I’m getting ready to leave this world!

2.Trusting in the riches 

Of His saving grace, 

In each earthly trial 

I His love can trace; 

Sure that up in heaven

I shall find a place, 

I’m getting ready 

To leave this world.

3.To prepare a mansion

Jesus said, “I’ll go, 

If it were not true 

I would have told you so;” 

Well, just a little while 

To linger here below; 

I’m getting ready 

To leave this world.
