1.
I look'd 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!
Refrein:
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home,

2.
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 !

3.
The brightest day that ever I saw,
When Jesus washed my sins away.

4.
I'm sometimes up and sometimes down,
But still my soul feels heavenly bound.
