Angels Rock Me to Sleep Songtext
von Bill Monroe

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 help is vain

Angels rock me to sleep (angels rock me to sleep)
in the cradle of love (in the cradle of love)
Bear me over the deep (bear me over the deep to Heaven above)
When the shadows shall fall (when the shadows shall fall)
And the Savior shall call (and the Savior shall call)
Angels rock me to sleep (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


Angels rock me to sleep (angels rock me to sleep)
In the cradle of love (in the cradle of love)
Bear me over the deep (bear me over the deep to Heaven above)
When the shadows shall fall (when the shadows shall fall)
And the Savior shall call (and the Savior shall call)
Angels rock me to sleep (angels rock me to sleep)
In the cradle of love

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

Angels rock me to sleep (angels rock me to sleep)
In the cradle of love (in the cradle of love)
Heaven above)
When the shadows shall fall (when the shadows shall fall)
And the Savior shall call (and the Savior shall call)

Angels rock me to sleep (angels rock me to sleep)
In the cradle of love
