oh come, angel band

my latest sun is sinking fast

my race is nearly run;

my strongest trials now are past

my triumph is begun. 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. 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. i've almost reached my heav'nly home

my spirit loudly sings;

thy holy ones

behold

they come!

i hear the noise of wings. oh

bear my longing heart to him

who bled and died for me;

whose blood now cleanses from all sin

and gives me victory.
