Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home


I looked over Jordan and what did I see,<br>
I looked over Jordan, and what did I see
a band of anges comin' after me.<br>
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home


If you get there before I do,<br>
If you get there before I do
tell all my friends I am comin' there too.<br>
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'm coming, too
Coming for to carry me home


I'm sometimes up and sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home

The brightest day that I can say
Coming for to carry me home
When Jesus washed my sins away
Coming for to carry me home}}
