Swing low, sweet chariot,

Refrain

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,

Coming for to carry me home.

A band of angels coming after me,

Coming for to carry me home.

(

Refrain

If you get there before I do,

Coming for to carry me home.

Tell all my friends I'm coming too,

Coming for to carry me home.

(

Refrain

The brightest day that ever I saw

Coming for to carry me home.

When Jesus washed my sins away,

Coming for to carry me home.

(

Refrain

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.
