1 Hush, hush, somebody’s callin’ my name,
Hush, hush, somebody’s callin’ my name,
Hush, hush, somebody’s callin’ my name,
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord what shall I do,
What shall I do?

2 Sounds like Jesus. Somebody’s callin’ mah name,
Sounds like Jesus. Somebody’s callin’ mah name,
Sounds like Jesus. Somebody’s callin’ mah name,
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord what shall I do,

3 Soon one mornin’, death’ll come creepin’ in mah room,
Soon one mornin’, death’ll come creepin’ in mah room,

4 I’m so glad. Ah got my religion in time,
I’m so glad. Ah got my religion in time,
I’m so glad. Ah got my religion in time,

What shall I do?

5 I’m so glad. I’m on my journey home,
I’m so glad. I’m on my journey home,
I’m so glad. I’m on my journey home,
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord what shall I do,
What shall I do?
