"Angel Band" is an American gospel song. The lyrics were originally titled "My Latest Sun Is Sinking Fast" and were written by Jefferson Hascall. The lyric was first set in J. W. Dadmun's tunebook The Melodeon in 1860, to a tune by Dadmun. These words, being in common meter, could be sung to many hymn tunes, but the tune now universally associated them is by William Batchelder Bradbury and was published in Bradbury's Golden Shower of S.S. Melodies in 1862. Bradbury's song was originally titled "The Land of Beulah". "Angel Band" became widely known in the 19th century, both in folk traditions and in published form, e.g. William Walker's Christian Harmony of 1866. It has been recorded by the Stanley Brothers, Emmylou Harris and others, including the Monkees. The Stanley Brothers version is included on the O Brother, Where Art Thou? sound track album (2000).
