Artists who have recorded it include Helen E. Fromm in 1982, Worship House in 1999, and reggae singer Jepther McClymont (better known as Luciano) also in 1999.

Lyrics
Sweep over my soul,Sweep over my soul,
Sweet spirit,
Sweep over my soul.
My rest is complete,
When I sit at his feet,
Sweet spirit, sweep over my soul.
This an awesome song.
