Keep Me Burning

Be Ready When He Comes
Daniel O. Teasley
1896
Refrain:
Be ready, be ready,
Be ready when He comes;
Be ready, be ready,
Be ready when He comes.
Verses:
Would you flee from sin and serve the Lord?
Be ready when He comes;
He will soon appear with His reward,
Be ready when He comes.
It is not His will that you be lost,
Be ready when He comes;
Would you save your soul at any cost?
Be ready when He comes.
Do you know the end of time is near?
Be ready when He comes;
Can you live and die in sin’s career?
Be ready when He comes.
There is awful danger in delay,
Be ready when He comes;
Will you cast your only hope away?
Be ready when He comes.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (Matthew 25:1-4).
