Swing low, sweet chariot

Swing low, sweet chariot


Refrain:
Swing low, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home.

1.
I looked over Jordan, an' what did I see?
Comin' for to carry me home!
A band of angels comin' after me,
comin' for to carry me home.

2.
If you get there before I do,
comin' for to carry me home!
Tell all my friends I'm comin' too,
comin' for to carry me home.

3.
The brightest day that ever I saw,
comin' for to carry me home!
When Jesus washed my sins away,
comin' for to carry me home.

4.
I'm sometimes up an' sometimes down,
comin' for to carry me home!
But still my soul feels heavenly bound,
comin' for to carry me home.
