What god is being praised in the song, "Kumbaya"?

Really?  This is interesting.  Can you provide links or other conformation?

I could possibly find some.      I just remember that.   I think it was first a  Gullah song if i am not mistaken.

If you find them please post them.  I always thought it was an African song to an African deity.

Well Gullahs are an old slave community that was isolated and held onto lots of African customs and such.   It's about God though,  I know that.   
I'm fairly certain it became Kumbayah because of how Come By Ya sounds in their vernacular.   Gullah is a type of pigin English.

Kumbaya. ... Kum ba yah ("Come by Here") is a spiritual song first recorded in the 1920s. It became a standard campfire song in Scouting and summer camps and enjoyed broader popularity during the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s.

I don't use the Wiki sites as authority but I thought it was good enough for this. 

Yeah we sang it all the damn time in Scouts.   None of us liked it though.

We sang it at camp and loved it.  I sang it with my kids too and sing it with my grands.

We went on at least one camp out a month.    Just got sick of it I suppose.
