The first song I remember
Seems not so long ago
When mamma rocked my cradle
And to me she'd sing this song

Rock-a-my baby
In the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
Rock-a-my baby
In my arms
When the wind blows
It'll cause you no harm

Sometimes when I feel frightened
As I grew to be a child
I'd go to mom, she'd hold me close
And the fear in me would die

Rock-a-my child
In the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
Rock-a-my child
In my arms
When the wind blows
It'll cause you no harm

She died when I was still a child
But she told me of this man
Who'd hold me close and keep me safe
From the wrath of this land

Now that I am older
At times I'm still afraid
But I go to the rock of ages
And rock my fears away

Rock of ages
Cleft for me
When the wind blows
Let me hide in Thee
Rock my soul
In His arms
When the wind blows
It'll cause me no harm

Rock of ages
Cleft for me
When the wind blows
Let me hide in Thee
Rock my soul
In Your arms
When the wind blows
It'll cause me no harm
