My Latest Sun Is Sinking Fast
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
My race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past,
My triumph has begun.
Oh, come Angel Band
Come and around me stand
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, bear my longing heart to him
Who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin
And gives me victory.
Oh, come Angel Band
Come and around me stand
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home...
