<p>When I have finished my journey on earth,<br>
Ended my labor of love,<br>
When I am waiting for Jesus to say,<br>
&#8220;Haste to thy mansion above.&#8221;</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Will they come? Will they come?<br>
Say, will the angels come,<br>
And to Jesus carry me home?<br>
Will they come? Will they come?<br>
Say, will the angels come,<br>
And to Jesus carry me home?</p>
<p>When I am breathing my latest farewell,<br>
Parting from all that is dear,<br>
When on my pillow I wearily turn,<br>
Say, will the angels be near?</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>When, as I gaze from the threshold of time,<br>
Fainter and fainter the light,<br>
Softer and softer the voices I hear,<br>
Bidding my spirit good night.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Yes; they will come from the bright, sunny land,<br>
Come on their pinions so fair;<br>
Jesus will send them its glory to tell,<br>
Angels will carry me there.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
