Angel Band
        Emmylou Harris

G                C 
My latest sun is sinking fast, 
   G       D      G
My race is nearly run. 
                    C
My strongest trials now are past, 
   G       D7     G
My triumph has be-gun. 

Chorus:
D7        G
Oh, come, angel band,
D7         G
Come and a-round me stand, 
    C                    G
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings,
         D7     G
To my im-mortal home. 
   C                     G
Oh bear me away on your  snow white wings
         D7     G
To my im-mortal home



G                        C
Oh bear my longing heart to Him, 
    G        D        G
Who bled and died for me.
                         C
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin, 
    G     D7     G
And gives me vic-tory.


Chorus


G                  C
I know I'm nearing holy ranks, 
   G           D       G
Of friends and kindred dear.
                   C 
I brush the dew of Jordan's banks, 
    G             D7  G
The crossing must be  near. 


Chorus


G                     C
I've almost gained my Heavenly home,
   G           D   G 
My spirit loud-ly  sings. 
               C
The Holy ones, behold they come, 
  G        D7       G
I hear the noise of wings.
