Run to Jesus.

[This song was given to the Jubilee Singers by Hon. Frederick Douglass, at Washington, D.C., with the interesting statement, that it first suggested to him the thought of escaping from slavery.]

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

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

2. Oh, I thought I heard them say,
   There were lions in the way.
     I don't expect, etc.

3. Many mansions there will be,
   One for you and one for me.
     I don't expect, etc.
