I Steal Away and Pray F

Ev'ry time I do a deed I shouldn't do,
Ev'ry time I say a word I shouldn't 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 lead the way;
I just steal away, I just steal away
I just steal away somewhere and pray.

---

Oftentimes I'm made to bow my head in shame
At some idle thought or deed along life's way,
But I never am ashamed
of my Savior's precious name,
I just steal away somewhere and pray.

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