1. My latest sun is sinking fast
My race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are passed
My triumph begun.
Oh come Angel band,
Come and around me.
Oh bear me away
On your snow-white wings
To my immortal home.
Oh bear me away
On your snow-white wings
To my immortal home.
2. Oh bear my longing heat to him
Who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin
And gives me victory.
3. I know I'm near the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear
I've brushed the dew on Jordan's banks
The crossing must be near.
4. I've almost gained my heavenly home
My spirit softly sings
The Holy ones, behold they come
I hear the noise of wings.
