Ready

Ready to go, ready to wait;
Ready a gap to fill;
Ready for service small or great,
Ready to do his will.

Ready to suffer grief or pain,
Ready to stand the test;
Ready to stay at home and send
Others, if he see best.

Ready to do, ready to bear,
Ready to watch and pray;
Ready to stand aside and give,
Till he shall clear the way.

Ready to speak, ready to think,
Ready with heart and brain;
Ready to start when he sees fit,
Ready to share the strain.
