My heart is sad my soul is weary   While sailing oe'r 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
