Swing low, sweet chariot

by Fisk Jubilee Singers

{Refrain}
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home.

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.

{au Refrain}

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.

{au Refrain}

I'm sometimes up and sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home.

{au Refrain}

The brightest day that I can say
Coming for to carry me home
When Jesus washed my sins away
Coming for to carry me home.

{au Refrain}
