Lyrics
My latest sun is sinking fast
My race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past
My triumph has 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 snow white wings
To my immortal home
I’ve almost reached my heavenly home,
My spirit softly sings
Your holy ones, behold, they come!
I hear the noise of wings
Oh bear my longing heart to him
That bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses all from sin
And gives me victory

About This Song
Angel Band is a gospel standard that's become a beloved part of the bluegrass repertoire. It's typically played in G and uses just 3 chords (the 1-4-5), making it beginner-friendly and a great choice for newer players joining their first jam sessions.
This waltz has a distinctive 3/4 time signature that gives it a gentle, swaying feel. The spiritual depth of the lyrics and the simple chord progression make it a welcoming tune that brings a contemplative moment to any jam session.
