Lyrics Excerpt Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus
Notes

This spiritual was sung by Nat Turner as a signal. Nat, a slave from Virginia who organized a slave revolt against slave owners, used this song to alert other slaves to meetings. We now use this song as a spiritual alert, reminding ourselves that there is freedom in Jesus, and we need to urgently go to God to escape the world’s slavery.
