§25-94.13. Words to official state gospel song.

The words to the Oklahoma State Gospel Song, “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”, words by Wallis Willis, are as follows:

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Coming 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.

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin’ for to carry me home,

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin’ for to carry me home.

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.

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin’ for to carry me home,

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin’ for to carry me home.

I’m sometimes up and sometimes down,

Comin’ for to carry me home,

But still my soul feels heavenly bound,

Comin’ for to carry me home.

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin’ for to carry me home,

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin’ for to carry me home.

The brightest day that I can say,

Comin’ for to carry me home,

When Jesus washed my sins away,

Comin’ for to carry me home.

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin’ for to carry me home,

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Comin’ for to carry me home.
