Steal Away - George Morgan[00:00:00]

Steal away steal away steal away to Jesus [00:00:01]

Steal away steal away home [00:00:19]

I ain't got long to stay here [00:00:31]

I was walkin in Savannah past a church decayed and dim[00:00:40]

And there slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn [00:00:51]

A sympathy awakened and a wonder quickly grew[00:00:59]

Till I found myself environed in a little Negro pew [00:01:05]

Down front sat a young couple nearly wild [00:01:11]

On the altar was a coffin in the coffin was a child [00:01:17]

Rose a sad old Negro preacher at a little wooden desk[00:01:25]

With a manner grandly awkward and a countenance grotesque [00:01:30]

And he said "Now don't be weepin for this pretty bit of clay [00:01:37]

For the little boy who lived there has done gone and run away[00:01:46]

And he's doin very finely and he appreciates your love[00:01:54]

But his sure nuff Father want him in the large house above[00:02:01]

Now He didn't give you that baby for a hundred thousand miles [00:02:09]

He just think you need some sunshine and He lent him for awhile[00:02:15]

And He let you love and keep him till your hearts were bigger grown[00:02:24]

And those silver tears you're sheddin are just interest on the loan [00:02:32]

So my poor dejected mourners let your hearts with Jesus rest[00:02:43]

And don't go criticizin the one that knows the best [00:02:48]

He gave us many comforts He has the right to take away [00:02:54]

To the Lord be praise and glory now and ever let us pray [00:03:02]

My Lord calls me He calls me by the thunder The trumpet sounds[00:03:11]

Within my soul [00:03:26]

I ain't got long to stay here[00:03:30]
