The most common spelling is "Kumbaya" I think; but there seem to be variants. See the Wikipedia article for the song's history.

Thanks to both of you.

I notice that the song lyrics always seem to show it as three words: "*** bay ya".
As somthing of an attempt to phoneticize a Gullah phrase, there will inevitably be variant spellings.

Maybe that's to syllabically display the word to match the musical
