Be ready and stay awake at all times,
Yes, be ready and stay awake.
The Bridegroom Jesus is about to come from heaven;
Be ready and stay awake!

1.
The fig tree has begun to blossom,
And summer is drawing near.
The Lord will come soon, and we will go with Him.
Be ready and stay awake!

2.
There is not much time before the trumpet sounds.
So let us be ready and awake,
Filled with a joy beyond compare.

3.
The Lord Himself will wipe away our tears with His hands.
Our good and gracious Lord Jesus
Will reward us.
So be ready and stay awake!

4.
All our sorrow will come to an end,
And we will be transformed in glory.
We will live joyfully in heavenly Zion forever.
Be ready and stay awake!
