Ready - Lyrics by Asa C. Palmer, circa 1875, Keswick Convention Hymns
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Ready to suffer grief or pain, ready to stand the test;
Ready to stay at home and send others, if He sees best.
[Chorus]
Ready to go, ready to stay,
Ready my place to fill;
Ready for service, lowly or great,
ready to do His will.
[Verse 2]
Ready to go, ready to bear, Ready to watch and pray;
Ready to stand aside and give, Till He shall clear the way.
[Chorus]
Ready to go, ready to stay,
Ready my place to fill;
Ready for service, lowly or great,
ready to do His will.
[Verse 3]
Ready to speak, ready to think Ready with heart and brain;
Ready to stand where He sees fit, Ready to bear the strain.
[Chorus]
Ready to go, ready to stay,
Ready my place to fill;
Ready for service, lowly or great,
ready to do His will.
[Verse 4]
Ready to speak, ready to warn, Ready o'er souls to yearn;
Ready in life, ready in death, Ready for His return.
[Chorus]
Ready to go, ready to stay,
Ready my place to fill;
Ready for service, lowly or great,
ready to do His will.
