| Text Translation | Alone we wander, through darkness roam River holy, guide us home, At water’s crossing, the sacred seam Dawn of freedom we dream. As lightning shadows what we betray Rights the journey to the day When all in shackles go unenslaved, Hope of longing still saves. So we must follow the river’s light Heed its calling through the night, Whose promise pierces our bleakest strife, Beckons us to new life. Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus Steal away, steal away home, I ain’t got long to be here. --Joseph Gryskiewicz and Daniel Kantor |
