Angel Band

(album: Did You Think To Pray - 1971)

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 immortal home
Oh bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home

I know I'm near the holy ranks of friends and kindreds dear
I brush the dew on Jordan's banks, the crossing must be near

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

Oh bear my longing heart to him who bled and died for me
Who's blood now cleanses from all sin and gives me victory

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