Artist/Band: Bill Anderson
Lyrics for Song: Angel Band
Lyrics for Album: I Can Do Nothing Alone [Decca] [1967]



(Pearl D.Jones)



My latest sun is sinking fast

My race is nearly run

My strongest trials now are past

My triumps has began.



Oh, come angel band

Come and around me stand

Bear me away on your snowy wings

To my imortal home.



Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings

To my imortal home.



--- Instrumental ---



I've almost gained my heavenly home

My spirit loudly sing

The holy ones behold they come

I hear the noise of wings.



Oh, come angel band

Come and around me stand

Bear me away on your snowy wings

To my imortal home.



Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings

To my imortal home...


Angel Band
