| Text: | Rocked in the cradle of the deep |
| Tune: | ROCKED IN THE CRADLE OF THE DEEP |
| Composer: | J. P. Knight |
1 Rocked in the cradle of the deep,
I lay me down in peace to 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;
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.
2 And such the trust that still were mine,
Tho' stormy winds swept o'er the brine;
O, tho' the temptest's fiery breath
Rous'd me from sleep to wreck and death,
In ocean's cave still safe with Thee,
The germ of immortality;
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.
