Answer Details

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is one of the most well-known examples of a negro spiritual (also called African American spiritual).

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot references the biblical story of the prophet Elijah being taken to heaven in a chariot of fire (2 Kings 2:11). Its lyrics express a longing for deliverance and heavenly rest. The song was first publicly performed by the Fisk Jubilee Singers in the 1870s, which helped bring negro spirituals to international attention.
