Verse 1:
 A                         A
Do you fear this man's invention
           D            A
That they call atomic power?
    A
We all in great confusion
       E
Do we know the time or hour?
 A                   A
When a terrible explosion
          D             A
May rain down upon our land
           A
Leaving horrible destruction
          E                A
Blotting out the works of man


Chorus:
       A
Are you, are you ready
          A
For that great atomic power?
          A                               E
Will you rise and meet your Savior in the air?
           A                 A
Will you shout or will you cry
          D                  D
When the fire rains from on high?
          E                           A
Are you ready for that great atomic power?

Verse 2:
 A
There is one way to escape
      D                   A
Be prepared to meet the Lord
            A
When the mushroom of destruction falls
       E
There is a shielding sword
          A
He will surely stand beside you
             D               A
And you'll never taste of death
          A                A
For your soul will fly to safety
      E                A
And eternal peace and rest


Chorus:
       A
Are you, are you ready
          A
For that great atomic power?
          A                                E
Will you rise and meet your Savior in the air?
          A                  A
Will you shout or will you cry
          D                  D
When the fire rains from on high?
          E                           A
Are you ready for that great atomic power?
