〈悄然離去〉是一首經典的傳統黑人靈歌，經摩斯．霍根的重新編曲後，以三 段簡單歌詞的反覆吟誦，訴說黑奴在生命走到盡頭時，苦難終於得以解脫的心境。輕柔的旋律有如內心之獨白，輕述自己已不久於人世，將順應主的召喚回歸天國。
編曲者摩斯．霍根（Moses Hogan，1957-2003），美國鋼琴家、作曲家及合 唱音樂編曲家。畢業於奧伯林音樂學院（Oberlin Conservatory of Music）和茱麗亞 音樂學院（The Juilliard School），後又在奧地利維也納修習音樂。自幼接受專業音樂教育，深受教堂合唱音樂的影響，於 年成立新世界合唱樂團（New World Ensemble）。其黑人靈歌作品最為有名，代表作有The Oxford Book of Spirituals 《牛津靈歌曲集》、Feel the Spirit Vol 1&2《感知主靈（卷一、二）》等。
Steal away, steal away
Steal away to Jesus!
Steal away, steal away home
I ain’t got long to stay here
My Lord calls me
He calls me by the thunder
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain’t got long to stay here
Green trees are bending
Poor sinner stands a trembling;
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain’t got long to stay here.
My Lord calls me
He calls me by the lightning;
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain’t got long to stay here.

This hymn " Steal a way home" written by a Black lyricist in 1800 , sustain and comfort me during a cold winter night in Korea during the war, i was only 18 years old, to me it's the most beautiful hymn of all.

[@MReid-hl9wy]

One of the best renditions

[@teddyaribisala4372]

Good singing blurs racial and nation barriers. A beautifully conducted piece of African American Spiritual gospel standard. Bravo!

[@MS-pn9yc]

I sang this song in my high school's sacred-choir... getting the chance to learn how to sing such a beautiful song is a blessing from God I'll always treasure. The NTU Chorus sounds divine here. Bless these members. May Jesus Bless all who read this.

[@rayherbst6655]

This is sung so perfectly, majestically, smoothly, and peacefully, it brings tears to my eyes. My Hope is in the Name of the Lord who made Heaven and Earth.

[@anthonystrelitz6768]

Amazing harmony from a very well conducted choir. The three soloists are tremendous. Congratulations on such a performance and making the arrangement so enjoyable to listen to.

[@jafajack]

As beautifully sung as the first time I watched and listened to these incredible young singers, Thank You from Canada

[@byronterrell690]

Hearing this blessing from Taiwan's souls who love Jesus is so inspiring to these Willis, Texas ears who love Jesus . Such a sound lifts the hearers up to Jehovah's throne room. Bo

[@ntdscherer]

They're just singing the music they're given, they may or may not even know who Jesus is. But it's inspiring anyway.

[@nette9836]

This had me so emotional. I don't normally get tears in my eyes from much but this rendition of the song really caught me off guard and I confess, I cried a lot. There's something deeply moving about this song apart from any other hymn or religious song I've encountered. So glad I learned of it from George Washington's Mount Vernon KZbin channel!

[@edamoakoatta7405]

Something drew me to this song on the outskirts of college campus three miles away from home at age five, it was the first time I heard anything sang so beautiful ,I'm sixty plus and still get goosebumps when ever I hear it.

[@angelahilakut4421]

The melody is so marvellous. My mum loved this song to her marrow. I love it too. Thank you Taiwan quire.

[@schmuelsonsradang4301]

I can only send millions of ❤❤❤❤❤ to this. Awsome and very touching. Can't stop listening to this. Blessing to all.

[@pamelaledgerwood2004]

The most beautiful rendition I have ever heard. Absolute perfection, the harmony, & way it was sung brought tears to my eyes. Excellent performance. I live in the U.S. & I pray that positive change happens for the black communities in my country & all countries where racial discrimination occurs.

[@hendrikkanavel8378]

Inexpressibly beautiful! Music that was created out of misery and sorrow that was slavery in America; incomprehensible to us today. How appropriate for it to be performed by the Taiwanese. As a people over the centuries, in terms of numbers, the Chinese have suffered pain and suffering we cannot imagine. "Incomprehensible" is what comes to my mind and heart when I think of slavery and suffering under despots, regardless what race it was or how long ago it was.

[@joantaylor468]

We see most of the inhabitants of Taiwan as Chinese and their more recent ancestors were able to escape there and blend with the native population. Now they all live under very threatening conditions. However many have learned to seek Jesus, The One True and Living God! He Is Our Salvation and Deliverer!

[@berndbesier327]

A beautiful and truly heartfelt rendition of a "Negro Spiritual" from an unlikely source. I do hope they realize the true nature of this piece , it is very important to be in the moment.
