The words and music of Steal Away are credited to Wallis Willis, a Native American freedman from Oklahoma. A local minister transcribed the song and within a few years it became a firm gospel favourite. The words have a meaning beyond the spiritual, with hidden references to the "Underground Railway" of the time that helped escaped slaves cross to Canada. In more recent times Steal Away to Jesus was arranged by Michael Tippett in 1944 and recorded famously by Mahalia Jackson and Nat King Cole.
The standard is early intermediate. Players with a year or two’s experience will enjoy playing Steal Away. This gospel hymn is ideal for use in concerts or worship, formal or informal.
