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 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 are bending, Poor sinner stands a-trembling; The trumpet sounds within-a my soul, I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]
3 Tomb stones are bursting, Poor sinner stands a-trembling; The trumpet sounds within-a my soul, I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]
4 My Lord calls me, He calls me by the lightning, The trumpet sounds within-a my soul, I ain’t got long to stay here. [Refrain]
