Angel Band
Jefferson Hascall/William Bradbury, mid 19th century
Recorded live at The Blackstone River Theatre, September 30, 2000.

Here is a verse which is not included in this version:

O bear my longing heart to those
who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses all from sin
and brings us victory...Chorus

lyrics

My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past, my triumph is 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

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...Chorus

Instrumental

I've almost gained my heavenly home
My spirit loudly sings
The holy ones, behold, they come
I hear the noise of wings...Chorus
