With Their Songs By J. B. T. Marsh (Revised Edition. The Riverside Press. Boston: Houghton, Osgood and Company, 1880) My Lord calls me, He calls me by the thunder; The trumpet sounds it in my soul: I hain't got long to stay here. Chorus: Steal away, steal away, Steal away to Jesus! Steal away, steal away home, I hain't got long to stay here. Green trees are bending, Poor sinners stand trembling; The trumpet sounds it in my soul: I hain't got long to stay here. My Lord calls me, He calls me by the lightning; The trumpet sounds it in my soul: I hain't got long to stay here. Tombstones are bursting, Poor sinners are trembling; The trumpet sounds it in my soul: I hain't got long to stay here. |
