[Intro]
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

[Verse 1]
Steal away, steal away
Steal away to Jesus
Steal away, steal away home
I ain't got long to stay here
Green trees are bending
Poor sinner stands a-trembling
The trumpet sound within my soul
I ain't got long to stay here

Steal away, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Steal away home
I ain't got long to stay here

My Lord calls me
He calls me by the thunder
The trumpet sound within my soul
I ain't got long to stay here

[Outro]
Mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Steal away home
I ain't got long to stay here
