The Stanley Brothers - Angel Band

Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of The Stanley Brothers bluegrass band performing "Angel Band"

"The Stanley Brothers were an American bluegrass duo of singer-songwriters and musicians made up of brothers Carter Stanley and Ralph Stanley. Ralph and Carter performed as The Stanley Brothers with their band, The Clinch Mountain Boys, from 1946 to 1966"


Angel Band
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

Oh bear my longing heart to him
Who bled and died for me
Who’s blood now cleanses from all sin
And gives me victory"

Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys - Angel Band
