Well, I looked over Jordan
And what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home
There was a band of angels
Coming after me
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Well, I'm sometimes up
And I'm sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But I know my soul is
Heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Well now, if you get there
Before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends
That I'm a-coming too
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
And now they're coming for to carry me home
