Angel Band

Trad. / Pattern: 1 _ 2 & 3 &

I know I'm near the holy ranks, of friends and kindred dear.

I brush the dew on Jordan's banks, the crossing must be near.

I've almost gained my heavenly home, my spirit loudly sings.

The holy ones, behold they come, I hear the noise of wings.

Oh bear my longing heart to him, who bled and died for me.

Whose blood now cleanses from, all sin, and gives me victory.

Aura Lee (Love me tender)

W. W. Fosdick, G. R. Poulton / Pattern: 1 _ 2 _ 3 _ 4 _

In her blush, the rose was born 'twas music when she spoke,

in her eyes the light of morn sparkling seemed to break.

Aura Lee, Aura Lee, ...

Take my heart and take my ring I give my all to thee

take me for eternity dearest Aura Lee!

Aura Lee, Aura Lee ...

When the mistletoe was green, midst the winter's snows,

sunshine in thy face was seen, Kissing lips of rose.

Aura Lee, Aura Lee, ...
