Refrain:
Swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home;
swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home.
1 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
2 If you get there before I do
coming for to carry me home
tell all my friends I'm coming there too
coming for to carry me home. Refrain
3 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
4 Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
coming for to carry me home
but still I know I'm heavenward bound
coming for to carry me home. Refrain
