O Come, Angel Band

Verse 1

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

Chorus

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.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

I’ve almost reached my heav’nly home, my spirit loudly sings; your holy ones, behold, they come! I hear the noise of wings.

Verse 4

O bear my longing heart to him who bled and died for me; whose love now covers all my sin, and gives me victory.
