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, coming after me.

– Comin’ for to carry me home –

If you get to heaven before I do

– Comin’ for to carry me home –

tell all my friends I’m comin’ there soon.

– Comin’ for to carry me home –

I’m sometimes up, sometimes down

– Comin’ for to carry me home –

but my soul is glory bound.

– Comin’ for to carry me home –
