| Text: | Steal Away to Jesus |
| Tune: | [Return, O wanderer, to thy home] |
| Composer: | E. O. Excell |
1 Return, O wand’rer, to thy home,
Thy Father calls for thee;
No longer now an exile roam,
In guilt and misery.
Refrain:
Steal away, steal away,
Steal away to Jesus;
Steal away, steal away home,
For Jesus waits to save you.
2 Return, O wand’rer, to thy home,
'Tis Jesus calls for thee;
The Spirit and the Bride say,
Come, O now for refuge flee. [Refrain]
3 Return, O wand’rer, to thy home,
'Tis madness to delay;
There are no pardons in the tomb,
And brief is mercy's day. [Refrain]
