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 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
