Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep

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.

And such the trust that still were mine

Though stor­my winds sweep o’er the brine

Or though the tem­pest’s fie­ry breath

Rouse me from sleep to wreck and death

In ocean cave still safe with Thee

The germ of im­mor­tal­ity.
