Gently Rock His Cradle
Recorded by Jimmie Davis
Written by Mosie Lister
 
G            B7       C           G
No pillow of satin to cushion His head 
   D7          G      A7           D7
No fine silken covers adorning His bed
    G         B7           C             G
But heaven is watching the crib where He lies
      D7                              G
While angels are singing a sweet lullaby 
 
                                 C    G
Gently rock His cradle whisper a lullaby
D7                  G        C         G
There is Lord Jesus rest and don't You cry
                                   C        G
Arms that love sustain Thee angels standing by
D7                     G      C    G
Gently rock His cradle sing a lullaby
 
              B7       C         G
The Baby Lord Jesus so softly He sleeps
     D7     G           A7         D7
With angels attending a vigil they keep  
   G        B7           C           G
So tenderly watching His mother sits by
      D7                                    G
While gently He sleeps through a sweet lullaby
 
                                 C    G
Gently rock His cradle whisper a lullaby
D7                  G        C         G
There is Lord Jesus rest and don't You cry
                                   C        G
Arms that love sustain Thee angels standing by
D7                     G      C    G
Gently rock His cradle sing a lullaby
