| ROCKED IN THE CRADLE OF THE DEEP | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Rocked in the cradle of the deep I lay me down in peaceful sleep Secure I rest upon the wave For thou, O Lord, hast power to save I know thou wilt not slight my call For thou dost mark the sparrow's fall. Chorus: And calm and peaceful is my sleep Rocked in the cradle of the deep And calm and peaceful is my sleep Rocked in the cradle of the deep. And such the trust that still were mine Tho' stormy winds swept o'er the brine Or tho' the tempest's fiery breath Roused me from sleep to wreck and death In ocean cave still safe with thee The hope of immortality.
