112. Angel Band

My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run; My strongest trials now are past, my triumph is begun.

O come, angel band, come and around me stand; O bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home; my immortal home.

2.

I know I’m near the holy ranks of friends and kindred dear, For I hear the waves on Jordan’s banks, the crossing must be near.

O come, angel band, come and around me stand; O bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home; my immortal home.

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.

O come, angel band, come and around me stand; O bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home; my immortal home.

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.

O come, angel band, come and around me stand; O bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home; my immortal home.
