644. Steal Away to Jesus

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. [Refrain]

2 Green trees are bending,
poor sinners stand a trembling;
the trumpet sounds within my soul,
I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
