He's a-callin' [G]you, He's a-callin' you,
He's a-callin' [C]you, this very [G]hour.
Well, come on an' bow down, come on an' bow down,
He's a-callin' [D]you, Yes, He's a-callin' [G]you.

Don't you want to be saved? Don't you want to be saved?
Don't you want to be saved, this very hour?
Well, come on an' bow down, come on an' bow down,
He's a-callin' you, Yes He's a-callin' you.

You better pray! You better pray!
You better pray this very hour.
Well, come on an' bow down, come on an' bow down,
He's a-callin' you, Yes He's a-callin' you. 

My Savior said, my Saviour said,
My Savior said, this very hour,
Come on an' bow down, come on an' bow down,
He's a-callin' you, Yes He's a-callin' you.

He's a-callin' you, He's a-callin' you,
He's a-callin' you, this very hour.
Well, come on an' bow down, come on an' bow down,
He's a-callin' you, Yes, He's a-callin' you.

Won't you take my hand, won't you take my hand,
Won't you take my hand, this very hour?
Well, come on an' bow down, come on an' bow down,
He's a-callin' you, Yes, He's a-callin' you.
