103. 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 calls me,
He calls me by the thunder;
The trumpet sounds within-a my soul,
I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]

2 Green trees are bending,
Poor sinner stands a-trembling;
The trumpet sounds within-a my soul,
I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]

3 Tomb stones are bursting,
Poor sinner stands a-trembling;
The trumpet sounds within-a my soul,
I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]

4 My Lord calls me,
He calls me by the lightning,
The trumpet sounds within-a my soul,
I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]
