My latest sun is sinking fast my race is nearly run



My strongest trials now are past my triump has began



Oh come angel band come and around me stand



Bear me away on your snowy wings to my imortal home



Bear me away on your snowy wings to my imortal home



[ dobro ]



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...
