The story of Fisk University, and how American music history was forever changed by a fund raising tour, continues with this episode of HymnStories.

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.

I looked over Jordan,
And 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:

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.
