Angel Band
Arranged by Shawn Kirchner
Text by Jefferson Hascall (1807-1887)
The latest sun is sinking fast, my race is almost 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 snow-white wings to my immortal home. 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. O come angel band, come and around me stand, O bear me away on your snow-white wings to my immortal home. I’ve almost reached my heav’nly home, my spirit loudly sings, The 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 snow-white wings to my immortal home. Audio recording of "Angel Band" is courtesy of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale.
