Steal away
Steal away
Steal away home to Jesus, children, steal away
Steal away
Steal away
I ain’t got long to stay here

My Lord, He called me
He called me by the lightnin’
And a trumpet sound within my soul
And I ain’t got long to stay here, now steal away
Steal away
Steal away home to Jesus, children, steal away
Steal away
I ain’t got long to stay here
