My Latest Sun Is Sinking Fast
Words: Jefferson Hascall
Music: My Latest Sun Is Sinking Fast | William Batchelder Bradbury
1. My latest sun is sinking fast,
My race is nearly run;
My strongest trials now are past,
My triumph is begun.

2. I know I’m near the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear,
For I hear the waves on Jordan’s banks,
The crossing must be near.

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

4. O bear my longing heart to Him,
Who bled and died for me;
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin,
And gives me victory.

Refrain:
O come, angel band,
Come and around me stand;
O bear me away on your snowy wings
To my eternal home;
O bear me away on your snowy wings
To my eternal home.
