In "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," the chariot symbolizes a means of deliverance and escape from suffering, often interpreted as a metaphor for salvation or liberation from oppression. It evokes the biblical imagery of the prophet Elijah being taken to heaven in a chariot of fire, representing hope for freedom and a better life beyond earthly struggles. The chariot serves as a powerful symbol of hope and spiritual transcendence for those enduring hardships.
I think it's just "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", or possibly just "Sweet Chariot" It's "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot."
The earliest recording of the song "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" was in 1909. The refrain of the song is Swing low, Sweet chariot coming for to carry me home, which is sung twice.
