Angel Band

Cat. #0853 (MFH #18) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 27, 1969

VERSE 1
My latest sun is sinking fast
My race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past
My triumph is begun

CHORUS:
O come, angel band
Come an' around me stand
O, bury me 'way on your snowy wing
To my emortal home
O, bury me 'way on your snowy wing
To my emortal home

VERSE 2
I've almost gained my Heavenly home
My spirit loudly sing
The Holy One behold they come
I hear th noise of wings

VERSE 3
So bear, my longing heart to Him
Who bled an' died for me
Who's blood now cleanse us from all sin
An' gave me vic-to-ry
