Refrain:

Run to Jesus, shun the danger,
I don't expect to stay much longer here.

He will be our dearest friend,
And will help us to the end.
I don't expect to stay much longer here.

O, I thought I heard them say,
There were lions in the way.
I don't expect to stay much longer here.

Many mansions there will be,
One for you and one for me.
I don't expect to stay much longer here.
