- ANGEL BAND
- from the Sacred Harp tradition.
-
- My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run.
- My strongest trials now are past, my triumph is begun.
-
- Chorus; Oh, come, Angel Band, come and around me stand.
- Oh bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home,
- Oh 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 brush 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.
-
- Oh bear my longing heart to him who bled and died for me.
- Whose blood now cleanses from all sin, and gives me victory.
