Angel Band
Tim O'Brien · Other Songs - Tim O'Brien
My race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past
My triumph has begun
Chorus:
Oh come angel band
Come and around me stand
Oh bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
Oh bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home
Oh bear my longing heart to him
Who bleed and died for me
Who's blood now cleanses from all sin
And gives me victory
Chorus
I've almost reached my heavenly home
My spirit loudly sings
Behold the holy ones they come
I hear the sound of wings
Chorus
