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