Angel Band lyrics

The latest sun is sinking fast,

My race is nearly run:

My strongest trials now are past,

My triumph is begun

O come Angel Band,

Come and around me stand;

O bear me away on your snowy wings

To my immortal home;

O bear me away on your snowy wings

To my immortal home.

I know I'm near the holy ranks

Of friends and kindred dear -

I've brushed the dew on Jordan's banks,

The crossing must be near.

I've almost gained my Heavenly home,

My spirit loudly sings;

The Holy ones, behold they come!

I hear the noise of wings.

O bear my longing heart to Him,

Who bled & died for me;

Whose blood now cleanses from all sin,

And gives me victory.
