Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship (African American Edition) ‎#2b

2b. 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 a-my soul.
I ain't got long to stay here.

2. Green trees are bending,
Poor sinners stand a-trembling.
The trumpet sounds within a-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 a-my soul.
I ain't got long to stay here.

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