An old classic gospel tune that never tires. Sung with my Loar LM-400VS mandolin in the key of G.
Lyrics
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
[chorus]
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
