Rock, rock, rock, little boat on the sparkling sea. Rock, rock, rock, dear Jesus rides in thee.
Rock, rock, rock, o're the waters swiftly flee. For Jesus lies in the little boat on blue Galilee.

Lyrics
1 When Jesus lived on the earth long ago, and taught the
people here.
He went in a boat on the blue Galilee with His disciples there.Rock, rock, rock, little boat on the sparkling sea. Rock, rock, rock, dear Jesus rides in thee.
Rock, rock, rock, o're the waters swiftly flee. For Jesus lies in the little boat on blue Galilee.
2 He had toiled that day doing good to all. Was tired as he could be:
So he went to sleep in the little boat on beautiful Galilee.
Rock, rock, rock, little boat on the sparkling sea. Softly rock, dear Jesus sleeps in thee.
Rock, rock, rock, o're the waters softly flee. For Jesus sleeps in the little boat on blue Galilee.
Rock, rock, rock, little boat on the sparkling sea. Softly rock, dear Jesus sleeps in thee.
Rock, rock, rock, o're the waters softly flee. For Jesus sleeps in the little boat on blue Galilee.
3 Then the clouds grew dark and the winds blew strong the waves
rolled o're the sea.
The disciples feared in that little boat on stormy Galilee.
Rock, rock, rock, little boat on the stormy sea. Rock, rock, rock dear Jesus rides in thee.
The disciples feared in that little boat on stormy Galilee.
Rock, rock, rock, little boat on the stormy sea. Rock, rock, rock dear Jesus rides in thee.
Rock, rock, rock, o're the waters swiftly flee. For Jesus rides in the
little boat on stormy Galilee.
4 When Jesus woke and spoke to the storm, He said to the waves "be still".
The sky grew bright and the winds grew calm, the waves obeyed His will.
Rock, rock, rock, little boat on the sparkling sea, Rock, rock, rock, dear Jesus rides in thee.
Rock, rock, rock, o're the waters swiftly flee. For Jesus rides in the little boat on blue Galilee.
4 When Jesus woke and spoke to the storm, He said to the waves "be still".
The sky grew bright and the winds grew calm, the waves obeyed His will.
Rock, rock, rock, little boat on the sparkling sea, Rock, rock, rock, dear Jesus rides in thee.
Rock, rock, rock, o're the waters swiftly flee. For Jesus rides in the little boat on blue Galilee.
