lyric1. Ev'ry time I do a deed I should not do,
Ev’ry time I say a word I should not say;
Let me tell you what I do and it brings a blessing too,
I just steal away somewhere and pray.

I just steal away, I just steal away,
And I ask my blessed Lord to lad the way;
I just steal away, I just steal away,
I just steal away somewhere and pray.

2. Oftentimes I’m made to bow my head inshame
At some Idle thought or deed along life’s way;
But I never am ashamed of my Saviour’s precious name,
I just steal away somewhere and pray.

3. Christ, the Saviour, always hears and answers pray’r,
And He gives me many blessings ev’ry day;
So when I have tried my best and I’ve failed to pass the test,
I just steal away somewhere and pray.
