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 heavenly 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
