And rocks like an infant's cradle;

And looking up, by sore grief oppressed,

We find the sky draped in sable."

I will not fear, though the earth should rock,

If God's foot be on the cradle;

But rest in peace midst the tempest's shock,

Rejoicing that God is able

To still the world with His mighty hand,

If His timid child should waken;

Or, if it rock, He will by me stand;
