40. Swing Low

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

3 I’m sometimes up, I'm sometimes down,
Coming for to carry me home,
But still my soul feels heav'nly bound,
Coming for to carry me home. [Chorus]
