Angel Band Lyrics

By Michael Nesmith
My latest sun is sinking fast,
My race is nearly run,
My strongest trials now have passed,
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 snow-white wings
To my immortal home.
Oh, bear my longing heart to Him
Who bled and died for me,
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin
And brings me victory.
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.
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.
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.
Fade out...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
