Chorus:
Steal away, steal away, steal away,
steal away to Jesus.
Steal away, steal away home,
I haven't got long to stay here.

My Lord, He calls me (He calls me),
He calls me by the thunder (the thunder);
the trumpet sounds way down
within my sanctified soul,
(I haven't got long to stay here).
Verse 2:
Green trees are bending (are bending),
sinner stands a trembling (a trembling);
the trumpet sounds within my soul,
(I havent't got long to stay here).

Verse 3:
My Lord, He calls me (He calls me),
He calls me by the lightning (the lightning);
the trumpet sounds within my soul,
(I haven't got long to stay here).
