Getting Ready to Die.

 Getting ready to die, Getting ready to die, Getting ready to die, O Zion, Zion. 1. When I set out, I was but young, Zion, Zion, But now my race is almost run, Zion, Zion. Cho.—Getting ready to die, &c. 2. Religion's like a blooming rose, Zion, Zion, And none but those that feel it knows, Zion, Zion. Cho.—Getting ready to die, &c. 3. The Lord is waiting to receive, Zion, Zion, If sinners only would believe, Zion, Zion.—Chorus.

4. All those who walk in Gospel shoes, Zion, Zion,
   This faith in Christ they'll never lose, Zion, Zion.—Chorus.

No. 52. The General Roll.


I'll be there, I'll be there,
Oh when the general roll is called, I'll be there.

1. O hallelujah to the Lamb,
     The general roll is called, I'll be there;
   The Lord is on the giving hand,
     The general roll is called, I'll be there. [D. C.]

2. Old Satan told me not to pray,
     The general roll is called, I'll be there;
   He wants my soul at Judgment Day,
     The general roll is called, I'll be there.
