Sheet music

  1. 1My latest sun is sinking fast,My race is nearly run;My strongest trials now are past,My triumph is begun.O come, angel band,Come and around me stand;O bear me away on your snowy wingsTo my immortal home;O bear me away on your snowy wingsTo my immortal home.
  2. 2I know I’m near the holy ranksOf friends and kindred dear:I brush the dews on Jordan’s banks:The crossing must be near.O come, angel band,Come and around me stand;O bear me away on your snowy wingsTo my immortal home;O bear me away on your snowy wingsTo my immortal home.
  3. 3I’ve almost gained my heav’nly home,My spirit loudly sings;Thy holy ones, behold, they come!I hear the noise of wings.O come, angel band,Come and around me stand;O bear me away on your snowy wingsTo my immortal home;O bear me away on your snowy wingsTo my immortal home.
