Interpretation notes:

• The hymn begins with repeated statements of 'a great day coming,' 'a bright day coming,' and 'a sad day coming.' 

• The word 'coming' is set with a sixteenth note followed by a dotted eighth note, and the refrain repeats 'Are you ready?' several times. 

• Longer note values appear on important words such as 'great day,' 'day to come,' and 'judgment day.'
