“Rock O’ My Soul“, also known as “Rock
My Soul“, “Bosom of Abraham“ or “Rocka
My Soul“, is a traditional African American
spiritual. It was first documented by
William Francis Allen, in the 1867
collection Slave Songs of the United
States. Allen attributed the origin of the
song to the state of Virginia and
documented the following lyrics:
Rock o’ my soul in de bosom of Abraham,
Rock o’ my soul in de bosom of Abraham,
Rock o’ my soul in de bosom of Abraham,
Lord, Rock o’ my soul. (King Jesus)
One of the earliest recorded version was
made in 1937 by the Heavenly Gospel
Singers. Notable artists who have
recorded the song include the
Jordanaires, Louis Armstrong, Lonnie
Donegan, Peter Paul & Mary and Elvis
Presley. Alvin Ailey made “Rocka My Soul
in the Bosom of Abraham“ the music for
the triumphant finale of his internationally
known choreo
