With dedication for Maire, who loved angels.

This beautifully arranged traditional gospel song was recorded by Johnny in Nashville January 24, 1979, and included on his "A Believer Sings The Truth" album.

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.
