READY, AYE READY!

Ready, always ready, comrades,
With meekness out to speak
The reason of the hope within,
Which each and all should seek
Oh, that we were so sanctified
As to have holy “check.”
1. Peter, iii., 15

Ready, always ready, comrades,
For every work that’s good,
Then God will fit us for the work,
And give us proper food
Bless and make us a true blessing
When we do what we should.
Titus iii., 1

Ready, always ready, comrades,
Now offered up to be,
Knowing that this great departure
Comes soon to you and me
Speak out, work up, and then the crown
For all eternity!
11 Tim., iv., 6
