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 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 within-a my soul;
I ain't got long to stay here. [Refrain]
