"ROCKED IN THE CRADLE OF THE DEEP"

Rocked i n 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 sparrows fail; And calm and peaceful shall I sleep, Rocked in the cradle of the deep.

: - < .&-

When in the dead of night I lie

:s4, S<

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, I calmly rest and soundly sleep.

And such the trust that still were mine, Though stormy winds swept oer the brine, Or though the tempests fiery breath Roused me from sleep to wreck and death.

In ocean cave, still safe with Thee

The germ of immortality!

-

And calm and peaceful shall I sleep,

Rocked in the cradle of the deep.

.Emma Hart Willard
