Product Description
After its misleading quiet accapella opening, this piece soon jumps into a fun and rollicking setting of the classic American spiritual.
Lyrics
The little cradle rocks tonight in glory,
Rocks in glory, rocks in glory.
The little cradle rocks tonight in glory
Telling of the Son of God.
The little cradle rocks tonight in glory,
Rocks in glory, rocks in glory.
The little cradle rocks tonight in glory
Telling of the Son of God.
Telling of the Son of God
Telling of the Son of God
The little cradle rocks tonight in glory
Telling of the Son of God.
Mary, won't you rock the cradle gently,
Rock it gently, a-rock it gently
Mary, won't you rock the cradle gently,
Singing of the Son of God.
Singing of the Son of God
Singing of the Son of God
Mary, won't you rock the cradle gently,
Singing of the Son of God.
Angels came to shepherds and shouted from the heavens
Shouted from the heavens, shouted from the heavens
Angels came to shepherds and shouted from the heavens
Glory be to God on high
Glory be to God on high
Glory be to God on high
Angels came to shepherds and shouted from the heavens
Glory be to God on high
We cannot keep quiet we have to praise our Jesus
Have to praise our Jesus, have to praise our Jesus
We cannot keep quiet we have to praise our Jesus
God has come down to save
God has come down to save (O hallelujah!)
God has come down to save (O hallelujah!)
We cannot keep quiet we have to praise our Jesus
God has come down to save
All glory be to Jesus, God on high, (All glory to Jesus, all glory and honor)
our God on high, our God on high (all glory and honor, all glory to Jesus)
All glory be to Jesus, God on high, (All glory to Jesus, all glory and honor)
He's bringing us the reign of God (all glory and honor, all glory to God)
Bringing us the reign of God (O hallelujah!)
Bringing us the reign of God (O hallelujah!)
All glory be to Jesus, God on high,
He's bringing us the reign of God.
He's bringing us, He's bringing us, He's bringing us
He's bringing us the reign of God.
Yeah!

| Background Info: | My main idea was to have fun with the phrase "the little cradle ROCKS." The piece clips right along and has something of a black gospel and Motown rock feel. (Think "Sister Act" and you're on the right track.) The optional orchestration is by Larry Mayfield. |
