Angel Band

Lyrics
My latest sun is sinking fast, My race is nearly run; My strongest trials now are past, My triumph is begun. Oh, come, angel band, Come and around me stand; Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings To my eternal home; Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings To my eternal home. Oh bare my longing heart to him Who bled and died for me Whose blood now cleanses from all sin And gives me victory [Chorus] I know I’m near the holy ranks Of friends and kindred dear— I hear the waves on Jordan’s banks, The crossing must be near. [Chorus] I’ve almost reached my heav’nly home, My spirit loudly sings; Thy holy ones, behold, they come! I hear the noise of wings. [Chorus] Oh, bear my longing heart to Him, Who bled and died for me; Whose blood now cleanses from all sin, And gives me victory.
