Verse 1

There's a great day coming, A great day coming, There's a great day
coming by and by; When the saints and the sinners shall be parted right and left,

Verse 2

There's a bright day coming, A bright day coming, There's a bright day
coming by and by; But its brightness shall only come to them that love the Lord,

Verse 3

There's a sad day coming, A sad day coming, There's a sad day
coming by and by; When the sinner shall hear his doom, "Depart, I know ye not,"

Chorus

Are you ready for that day to come? Are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready for the judgment day?
Are you ready? Are you ready? For the judgment day?
