The story behind the song

"Angel Band" is a classic American gospel song that explores the theme of dying and being carried away to an immortal home by an angel. The lyrics, originally a poem titled "My Latest Sun Is Sinking Fast," were written by Jefferson Hascall. While set to music by J. W. Dadmun in 1860, the tune now widely associated with the song was composed by William Batchelder Bradbury and published in 1862. It became a well-known song throughout the 19th century in both folk traditions and published hymnals.
