The SOA has the corporate rate on its site available (the link listed earlier is no longer in use).

Moody's Rates

It provides...

Moody's® Long-Term Corporate Bond Yield

Month End Close

AA Bond Rating

Based on Bonds with maturities 20 years and above

Yield as of the last business day of the month

Also, note that link has only one rate: the Aa rate on Corporate bonds. If you need the rate on Utility or Industrial bonds, you must use a different source of information.
