Better Be Ready

([OH! RISE UP CHILDREN, GET YOUR CROWN])

Refrain:
Better be ready; Better be ready;
Better be ready; Ready to try on your long white robe!

Oh! Rise up children, get your crown,
And by your Savior’s side sit down.

Refrain:
Better be ready; Better be ready;
Better be ready; Ready to try on your long white robe!

What a glorious morning that will be,
Our friends and Jesus we shall see.

Refrain:
Better be ready; Better be ready;
Better be ready; Ready to try on your long white robe!

O shout you Christians, you’re gaining ground,
We’ll shout old Satan’s kingdom down!

Refrain:
Better be ready; Better be ready;
Better be ready; Ready to try on your long white robe!

I soon shall reach that golden shore,
And sing the songs we sang before.

Refrain:
Better be ready; Better be ready;
Better be ready; Ready to try on your long white robe!
