My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run.
My strongest trials now are past, 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 sin, and gives me victory.
I know I'm near the holy ranks, of friends & 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.
