Oh, to be robed and ready Ready when the Lord shall come Oh to be waiting, watching, Watching for the summons home. Chorus Oh, to be ready, Oh, to be waiting Waiting for the Lord, to come Oh! To be waiting, watching, Watching for the summons home. Oh, to be robed and ready Ready for the call to go Washed in the crimson fountain Till every stain is white as snow Oh, to be robed and ready, Ready for it may be near When in a cloud of glory Blessed Jesus shall appear Oh, to be robed and ready Ready for eternal rest Ready to join the ransomed In the city of the blest.
