(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
COME-ON, NOW TIME WORSHIP HIM-ctr.
COME-ON, NOW TIME YOUR HEART OFFER-UP.
COME-ON, NOT~NEED FANCY, COME-TO WORSHIP.
COME-ON, NOT~NEED FANCY, APPROACH YOUR GOD. (pause) COME-ON.
LOOK-FORWARD DAY EVERY PERSON ADMIT, YOURSELF-ctr GOD.
LOOK-FORWARD DAY EVERYONE KNEEL, BOW-DOWN.
BUT BEST REWARD, GOD KEEP FOR (2h)YOU
IF HAPPY CHOOSE GOD NOW.

OFFER-UP - (2h)[B], POs up, lift up hands and move them towards God.
APPROACH - (2h)[B], FOs up, DH PO away, ND is held in front of NDH and palm faces it, then both hands approach one another slightly.
LOOK-FORWARD - Same as LOOK-UP-TO.
BOW-DOWN - (2h)[B], POs away, FOs up, are held like the final position of GIVE-UP, then bend these arms twice while bowing at waist once.

Lyrics:
Come now is the time to worship.
Come now is the time to give your heart.
Come just as you are to worship.
Come just as you are before your God, come.
One day every tongue will confess You are God.
One day every knee will bow.
Still the greatest treasure remains
For those who gladly choose You now.
