Lyrics Bill Monroe

Bill Monroe

Angels Rock Me To Sleep

My heart is sad my soul is weary

While sailing oe'are life's rugged plain

The clouds are dark the day is dreary

It seems

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
