Kneel down and take your penance
The congregation is on its way
Start now and serve your severance
You've sinned enough today

Hail to the congregation
Bow down to your religion
They're sure to have a better way

And now it's your dependence
They're there to take your life away
All your blessings come from Him
See who's standing at the end
Hallelujah, you are saved

Kneel as a sinner, live to die
Part of religion, all our lives
They come in comfort with an invitation
Hail to the congregation

All your blessings come from Him
See who's standing at the end
Hallelujah, you are saved

Say your blessing to our saints
Kneel as a sinner, live to die
Part of religion, all our lives

They come in comfort to soothe our soul
Just follow them before you go

Kneel as a sinner, live to die
Part of my soul has been sacrificed
They come in comfort with an invitation
Hail to the congregation
