LYRICS:
SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT
(CHORUS) Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home! Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home!
1. I looked over Jordan an' what did I see, Comin' for to carry me home? A band of angels comin' after me, Comin' for to carry me home. Repeat Chorus: Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home! Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home!
2. If you get there before I do, Comin' for to carry me home, Tell all my friends I'm comin' too, Comin' for to carry me home. Repeat Chorus: Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home! Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home!
3. Sometime I'm up, sometimes I'm down, Comin' for to carry me home. But still my soul feels heavenly bound. Comin' for to carry me home. Repeat Chorus: Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home! Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home!

This song played at my grandads funeral and he was like my second dad... Even saying his name makes me upset... RIP grandad love you lots...

[jcmeek]

My Dad loved "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" which he felt was a kind message from a loving Heavenly Father who would someday take him home to heaven accompanied by a band of angels. I love the pure tones of the singer! I wish I knew who she is! Thank you, whoever you are. You are giving a great gift to the world I think. - Doc Meek, Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, Tues, Apr 7, 2015

When I was 9 years old, I sat my first electric keyboard exam and this was the first piece. No piece of music that my ears have come across carried such emotion and deep meaning. Nearly a decade later, this song plays on loop in my head and has never once been forgotten. Truly amazing.

I'm not much of a believer, but my mother in law who was, passed away early this morning and I was drawn here and found comfort.

My mother and grandmother sang this to me as a lullaby. They sang it slower but, all the same. Thx

Just recorded a karaoke version of this beautiful song for a dying relative on the East coast, in the middle of the night…. His daughter played the recording and tears rolled down his cheeks. Hearing is the last sense we retain before we pass away. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for putting this on my heart.

[Midnight_Lantern]

My mother used to sing this to me as a young girl, as a lullaby. It resonates so deeply even further reasons I cannot express here.

I am Japanese.
When I was Junior High School students, I and classmates sang this song.
I'm loved it!

[taylordawnpayne]

I have to play this every night before my daughter will go to sleep . I don't know what I'd do without it .

[maverickwhitethorn]

Today was my grandpa Gus's funeral. This was his favorite song. I love him deeply and I'll always remember and miss him. God bless you grandpa, I love you.

Since I was a kid this has always been my go to tune. I sing it in my head my whole life all the time and I don't even know all of the words, I was goofily making some words up this am and decided I needed to finally know all the words after singing it wrong for 34 years. I hope they play it qt my funeral. That song us attached to my soul I feel.
If I'm sad it comes to mind while I self soothe, and when I'm super happy it comes whailing out of me. And when I'm feeling goofy like this am this song along with a bunch of extra made up lyrics comes out of me !! Something about this song I deeply attached to me.
If someone ever asked " what song does your soul sing" this would be it.

[twilliams]

This song has meaning. I had never heard it before until recently. I'm happy to know that the Chariot Angel swings low to carry me home.

[christyneoliver]

I learned this song in Kindergarten (1978) and as if late, the song has been stuck in my head. I finally understand the meaning of it.

[johnsamson]

Sweetest voice I ever heard singing this beautiful song.
