{{Text|English|
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Swing low, sweet chariot
comin' for to carry me home.
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
 
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
 
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
 
I'm sometimes up and sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home
 
The brightest day that I can say
Coming for to carry me home
When Jesus washed my sins away
Coming for to carry me home}}
{{mdl}}
{{Translation|French|
Roule, doux chariot
Tu m'amènes chez moi!
 
D'un coup d'oeil au-delà du Jourdain j'ai vu
Une troupe d'anges qui me suivaient.


I looked over Jordan and what did I see,
Si tu arrives avant moi
a band of anges comin' after me.
Dis aux amis que j'arrive aussi.


If you get there before I do,
Un jour ça va, après ca ne va plus,
tell all my friends I am comin' there too.
Mon âme est toujours en route vers le ciel.

C'était le plus beau jour de ma vie
Quand Jésus a emporté mes péchés.}}

D'un coup d'oeil au-delà du Jourdain j'ai vu

Un jour ça va, après ca ne va plus,
Mon âme est toujours en route vers le ciel.

C'était le plus beau jour de ma vie
