My latest sun is sinking fast

My race is nearly run

My longest trials now are past

My triumph has begun

Chorus

Oh come angel band

Come and around me stand

Bear me away on your snow white wings

To my immortal home

Bear me away on you snow white wings

To my immortal home

Oh bear my longing soul to him

Who bled and died for me

Whose blood now cleanses from all sins

And brings me victory

[chorus]

I know I'm near the holy ranks

Of friends and kindred dear

I brush the dew on Jordan's banks

The crossing must be near

I've almost gained my heavenly home

My spirit loudly sings

The holy ones, behold they come

I hear the noise of wings
