Lyrics Swing Low Sweet Chariot

(arr. T. Whitson)

Well, 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.

Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home.

Well, if you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all of my friends that I'm 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.

--- Instrumental ---

Hey, swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home...
