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

Oh, come, angel band,
Come and around me stand;
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home;
Oh, bear me away on your snowy white wings
To my immortal home.

I've almost reached my heavenly home,
My spirit loudly sings;
Thy holy ones, behold, they come!
I hear the noise of wings.

Oh, come, angel band,
Come and around me stand;
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home;
Oh, bear me away on your snowy white wings
To my immortal home. (2x)
