Chariot

Looked over Jordan and what did I see
It was a band of angels coming after me
And if you get there before I do
Could you tell all my friends that I’m coming along, too
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me, coming for to carry me
Sometimes I’m up and sometimes I’m down
But I know that my soul is heavenly bound, yes it is
All through the journey you know I won’t leave your side
So hush little darling you don’t have to cry, please don’t cry
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me, coming for to carry me home…
All through the journey you know I won’t leave your side
So hush little darling you don’t have to cry
The veil of night
Beneath we hide
They’ll pass us by
So please don’t cry
