This African/American spiritual appears to have been composed in the 1930s, in a Creole language.
It is very effective sung as a round. The origin of the tune is unknown.
Many different verses can be used, these slides show three of the common ones.

Someone's praisin', Lord, kum-ba-ya…
Kum-ba-ya, my Lord, kum-ba-ya…
