I've almost reached my heavenly home My spirit loudly sings The holy ones behold they come I hear the rush of wings. Oh come Angel Band Come and around me stand Bear me away on your snow white wings To my immortal home Bear me away on your snow white wings To my immortal home Farewell, kind man. How many of you new singers out there began with printouts of this very song (and many others) from Merritt’s old box as he scattered music like Johnny Appleseed along his way in this world, nourishing the seeds with praise and encouragement?
