Hymns for a Pilgrim People ‎#469

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

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