Lyrics to ANGEL BAND

Recorded by various artists, but Emmylou Harris did it once... seems like something Mike would like. With Sandi's "absolutely" to post, here are the lyrics:

My latest sun is sinking fast,
My race is nearly run;
My strongest trials now are past,
My triumph is begun.

* Refrain
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 heav'nly 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 my sin,
And gives me victory.
