Lyrics
(African American Spiritual, Wallace Willis)
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. Refrain
2. Green trees are bending
Poor sinner stand a-trembling
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain’t got long to stay here. Refrain
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. Refrain
