773. 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)
