COME, ANGEL BAND Sung by: W.P. Detherow Recorded in Batesville, AR, 7/19/52 Click here to listen to the original recording My race is narrow run. My strongest trials have all passed; 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. I know I'm near the holy ranks, Where kindred and friends are dear. I brush the dew on Jordan banks; The crossing must be near. (Chorus) When shall I reach that happy place And be forever blessed? When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest? (Chorus) |
