34b. Steal Away

Chorus:
Steal away, steal away,
steal away to Jesus!
Steal away, steal away home,
I ain't got long to stay here!

1 My Lord calls me,
He calls me by the thunder,
The trumpet sounds within my soul,
I ai't got long to stay here. [Chorus]

2 Green trees are bending,
poor sinner stands a-trembling;
The trumpet sounds within my soul,
I aint got long to stay here. [Chorus]

3 Tombstones are bursting,
poor sinner stands a-trembling;
The trumpet sounds within my soul,
I aint got long to stay here. [Chorus]

4 My Lord calls me,
He calls me by the lightning,
the trumpet sounds within my soul,
I aint got long to stay here. [Chorus]
