Oh Come, Angel Band (Album Version)

My latest sun is sinking fast,

My race is nearly run;

My strongest trials now are past,

My triumph is begun.

Refrain:Oh, come, angel band,

Come and around me stand;

Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings

To my eternal home;

Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings

To my eternal home.

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.

I’ve almost reached my heav’nly home,

My spirit loudly sings;

Thy 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.
