Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep.
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
| I lay me down in peace TO sleep;
Secure / rest upon the wave,
For thou. o Lord! hast power TO save
know thou wilt not slight my caH,
| For Thou dost mark the sparrow's fall;
And calm and peaceful shall l sleep,
| Rocked in the cradle of the deep.
When in the dead of night l lie
And gaze upon the trackless sky.
| The star-bespangled heavenly scroll,
The boundlesS waters as they roll,
i feel Thy wondrous power to save
| From perils of the stormy wave;
Rocked in the cradle of the deep,
| calmly rest and soundly sleep.
And such the trust that still were mine,
| Though stormy winds swept Ger the
brine,
Or though the tempest's fiery breath
| Reused me from sleep to wreck and
death.
In ocean cave, still safe with Thee
The germ OF immortality
And calm and peaceful shall l sleep,
Rocked in the cradle OF the deep:
Emma Hart Willard.
