My heart is sad my soul is weary
|
While sailing o'er life's rugged plain
|
The clouds are dark the day is dreary
|
It seems all earthly hope's in vain
|
|
Angels rock me to sleep in the cradle of love
|
Bear me over the deep to heaven above
|
When the shadows shall fall and the savior shall call
|
Angels rock me to sleep in the cradle of love
|
|
There is no earthly friend to guide me
|
No one to call to heaven's goal
|
But Christ the savior stands beside me
|
To cheer and comfort my poor soul
|
|
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 for ever more
|
