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.
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’ve almost reached my heavenly home,
My spirit loudly sings;
Thy holy ones, behold, they come!
I hear the noise of wings.
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.
Oh, bear my longing heart to Him,
Who bled and died for me;
Whose 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 eternal home;
Oh, bear me away
on your snowy wings
To my eternal home.
---Alternative verses---
I know I’m near the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear—
For I brush the dews 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 eternal home;
Oh, bear me away
on your snowy wings
To my eternal home.
I've almost gained my heavenly home,
My spirit loudly sings;
Thy holy ones, behold, they come!
I hear the noise of wings.
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.
