Angels are encamping all around me
They've been here since the day of my new birth
And though they long for home
They'll not leave me alone
Till i hear heaven's throne
Call me from this earth
Then i'm gonna sail away
On the wings of a homesick angel
I'm going all the way in the twinkling of an eye
I'll spend one moment here
The next at the master's table
'cause i'm gonna leave on the wings
Of a homesick angel
I can rest upon god's blessed promise
I'll never feel the chilling hand of death
When my time has arrived
To go beyond the skies
I'll see that welcome sight
As i draw my final breath
Then i'm gonna sail away
On the wings of a homesick angel
I'm going all the way in the twinkling of an eye
I'll spend one moment here
The next at the master's table
'cause i'm gonna leave on the wings
Of a homesick angel
