| Text: | O Come, Angel Band |
1 My latest sun is sinking fast,
My race is nearly run,
My strongest trials now are past,
My triumph is begun!
Refrain:
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.
2 I know I'm nearing holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear;
I brush the dew of Jordan's banks,
The crossing must be near; [Refrain]
3 I've almost gained my heav'nly home,
My spirit loudly sings;
The holy ones, behold, they come!
I hear the noise of wings, [Refrain]
4 O bear my longing heart to Him
Who bled and died for me;
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin,
And gives me victory. [Refrain]
