Angel Band

My latest sun is sinking fast
My race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are passed
My triumph has begun

Chorus
Oh, come, angel band, Come, and around me stand
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home

Oh, bear my longing heart to him
Who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sins
And gives me victory

I've almost reached my heavenly home
My spirit loudly sings
The holy ones, behold they come
I hear the noise of wings

I know I'm joining holy ranks
Of friends and loved ones dear
I brushed the dew on Jordan's banks
I know the crossing's near
