26. Angels Rock Me to Sleep

1 My heart is sad, my soul is weary,
While sailing o'er life's rugged main;
The clouds are dark, the day is dreary,
It seems all earthly help is vain.

Chorus:
Angels rock me to sleep
In the cradle of love,
Bear me over the deep
To that haven above;
When the shadows shall fall
And the Savior shall call,
Angels rock me to sleep
In the cradle of love.

2 There is no earthly friend to guide me,
No one to point to heaven's goal;
But Christ the Savior stays beside me
To cheer and comfort my poor soul. [Chorus]

3 At last the harbor I am nearing,
I see the lights along the shore;
I hear my friends and loved ones cheering,
I'll soon be safe forevermore. [Chorus]
