Spiritual Title:Steal Away to Jesus

Performed by Bernice Johnson Reagon

Recorded 1965

Lyrics:

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 by the thunder

The trumpet sounds within my soul I haven't got long to stay here Green trees are bending Sinner stands at trembling The trumpet sounds within my soul I haven't got long to stay here (chorus) In the midnight hour When you need some power When your heart is heavy  Steal away, steal away home  I haven't got long to stay here My Lord, He calls me  He calls me by the lightning (Michelle)  The trumpet sounds within my soul I haven't got long to stay here Repeat Chorus
What does it mean? This song means that the slaves are planning to escape soon
Who would most likely sing this and why? Slaves would most likely sing this song because they want to leave the plantation
