Author: Jefferson Hascall Hymnal: Timeless Truths #288 Meter: 8.6.8.6.5.6.10.5.10.5 First Line: My latest sun is sinking fast Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 I’ve almost reached my heav’nly home,
My spirit loudly sings;
Thy holy ones, behold, they come!
I hear the noise of wings. [Refrain]
4 Oh, bear my longing heart to Him,
Who bled and died for me;
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin,
And gives me victory. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 16:22 Tune Title: ANGEL BAND
