Now I looked over Jordan, and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming for me
Coming for to carry me home
Carry me home
Well now 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
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Carry me home
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home
I'm going there to see my Savior
To sing His praise forevermore
Well I'm sometimes up and sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But I know my soul is heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home
Yes I know my soul is heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me
Carry me home
Carry me home
