Verse 1:

                                     

                                     

Well you can sing about the great king David

                                     

                                     

And you can preach about the wisdom of Saul

                              

                             

But the judgement falls on all mankind

                           

                           

When the trumpet sounds the call.

                

                

  All equal and the same

                          

                          

  When the Lord He calls your name

                           

                           

  Get ready, brother, for that day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 (Chorus)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Verse 2:

                             

                             

Well one day soon all men will stand

                                 

                                 

His word will be heeded in all the land

                          

                          

Men shall know and men shall see,

                                 

                                 

We all are brothers and we all are free

                   

                   

  Mankind was made of clay

                          

                          

  Each of us in the very same way

                           

                           

  Get ready, brother, for that day

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 (Chorus)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Verse 3:

                                       

                                       

 Oh well the law is given and the law is known,

                             

                             

A tale is told and the seed is sown,

                               

                               

From dust we came into dust we'll go,

                                

                                

You the know the Lord once told us so.

                     

                     

  Each brother takes His hand,

                                

                                

  Heed the meaning of the Lord's command

                           

                           

  Get ready, brother, for that day.
