Steal away, steal away Steal away to Jesus Steal away, steal away home I ain't got long to stay here I was walkin' in Savannah past a church, decayed and dim When there slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn My sympathy awakened, my wonder quickly grew Till I found myself environed in a little negro pew Down in front a young couple sat in sorrow, nearly wild On the altar was a coffin, in the coffin was a child Rose a sad, old negro preacher at a little wooden desk In a manner grandly awkward with a countenance grotesque And he said "Now, don't be weepin' for this pretty bit of clay For the little boy that lived there, he done gone and run away He's doin' very finely and he appreciates your love But his sure enough Father want him in that large house up above He didn't give you that baby by a hundred thousand miles He just think you need some sunshine and He lent it for a while And He let ya love and keep it till your hearts were bigger grown And these silver tears you're sheddin', they's just interest on the loan So, my poor dejected mourners, let your hearts with Jesus rest Don't go criticizin' the One that knows the best He's give us many comforts, He has the right to take away To the Lord, be praised in glory now and ever, let us pray" 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 I'm gonna steal away home
