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
O bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
I've almost reached my heavenly 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
O bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
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
O bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
