Roll Jordan, Roll: Spirituals Quodlibet
 
Roll Jordan*, roll
Roll Jordan, roll
I want to go to heaven when I die
To hear old Jordan roll
* “Jordan” should be pronounced “Jerdon”
 
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin’ for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin’ for to carry me home
 
Ezekiel saw the wheel
Way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel
Way in the middle of the air
