Oh, what is your record, my brother, Oh, what is your record I pray? Will it do to be read by another, Will it pass in the great judgment day?

Chorus

Are you ready with your record? For the coming judgment day? Are you ready? Oh, my brother, The summons soon you must obey.

A record you know you are making, A record that with you will stay; You can never get from it my brother, Will it pass in the great judgment day?

Are you ready with your record? For the coming judgment day? Are you ready? Oh, my brother, The summons soon you must obey.

A record that’s dark and condemning, Will cause you both shame and dismay; When the world shall be called to assemble, At the bar of the great judgment day.

Are you ready with your record? For the coming judgment day? Are you ready? Oh, my brother, The summons soon you must obey.

Your last act will soon be recorded, The summons then you must obey; You must meet ev’ry page of your hist’ry, At the bar of the great judgment day.

Are you ready with your record? For the coming judgment day? Are you ready? Oh, my brother, The summons soon you must obey.
