The above version (with only minor variation in words) is in the songbook, SONGS OF ZION.

There also is a wonderful version on the CD, FISK UNIVERSITY JUBILEE SINGERS, Vol. 1 Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, on Document Records (available through CAMSCO). It has different verses, so there's twice as long a song if you combine them.

I know the Lord laid His hands on me

VERSES:

(can't make out words) knees (??)
I know the Lord laid His hands on me
(Thank God???) my soul (???) was alive at last
I know the Lord laid His hands on me

I never shall forget that day
(I know the Lord laid His hands on me)
When Jesus washed my sins away
(I know the Lord laid His hands on me)

I never felt such a love before
(I know the Lord laid His hands on me)
And it made me run from door to door
(I know the Lord laid His hands on me)

O some of these mornings bright and fair
(I know the Lord laid His hands on me)
Gonna take my wings and cleave the air
(I know the Lord laid His hands on me)
