Steal Away to Jesus

Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus,

Steal away, steal away home,

I ain't got long to stay here.

My Lord, He calls me,

He calls me by the thunder,

The trumpet sounds within-a my soul,

I ain't got long to stay here.

Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus,

Steal away, steal away home,

I ain't got long to stay here.

Green trees a-bending,

Po' sinner stands a-trembling,

The trumpet sounds within-a my soul,

I ain't got long to stay here.

Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus,

Steal away, steal away home,

I ain't got long to stay here.
