Swing low,
sweet chariot
comin' for to carry me home
Swing low
sweet chariot
comin' for to carry me home
I looked over Jordan
and what did I see
comin' for to carry me home
a band of angels comin'
after me
comin' for to carry me home.
Swing low,
sweet chariot
comin' for to carry me home
Swing low
sweet chariot
comin' for to carry me home
If you get there
before I do
comin' for to carry me home
tell all my people
comin' after me
comin' for to carry me home
Swing low,
sweet chariot
comin' for to carry me home
Swing low
sweet chariot
comin' for to carry me home
I'm sometimes up
and sometimes down
comin' for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
comin' for to carry me home
