Text:Steal Away

355b. Steal Away

Refrain:
Steal away, steal away,
Steal away to Jesus.
Steal away, steal away home.
I ain’t got long to stay here.

1. My Lord, he calls me,
He calls me by the thunder;
The trumpet sounds within my soul;
I ain’t got long to stay here.

2. Green trees are bending,
Poor sinners stand a-trembling;
The trumpet sounds within my soul;
I ain’t got long to stay here.
3. My Lord, he calls me,
He calls me by the lightning;
The trumpet sounds within my soul;
I ain’t got long to stay here.

4.Tombstones are bursting,
Poor sinners are a-trembling;
The trumpet sounds within my soul;
I ain’t got long to stay here.
