Angel Band Lyrics - Johnny Cash

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 sin, 

And gives me victory.
