Angel Band (Singers: Joan Baez, Jeffrey Shurtleff)

My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past, my triumph has begun

O come Angel Band, come and around me stand
Bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home
Bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home

I've almost gained my Heavenly home, my spirit softly sings
The Holy ones, behold they come, I hear the sound of wings

O come Angel Band, come and around me stand
Bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home
Bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home

Songwriter: Traditional song
[Lyrics from Musixmatch]

Joan Baez wrote the following liner note comment about Jeffrey Shurtleff for his 1971 A&M album 'State Farm' - He has one of the most mellow and moving, not to mention simply beautiful male folk voices I've ever heard.

Wikipedia states:

Rare, Live & Classic is a 1993 box set compilation by Joan Baez. Released on Vanguard, where Baez had recorded her most influential work during the first twelve years of her career, the set also included material from her subsequent record labels, A&M, Columbia and Gold Castle Records, as well as a number of previously unreleased studio and live recordings. Bob Dylan, Bob Gibson, Mimi Fariña, Judy Collins, Odetta and Kris Kristofferson are among those who make guest appearances on the various tracks; also included were two tracks from a never-released album recorded in 1981 with the Grateful Dead.
