ASLEEP IN JESUS

1. Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep!
From which none ever wakes to
weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.

2. Asleep in Jesus! Oh how sweet!
To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to sing,
That death hath lost its venomed
sting!

3. Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest!
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim the hour
That manifests the Saviour’s power.

4. Asleep in Jesus! Oh for me
May such a blissful refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on
high.

5. Asleep in Jesus! Far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves
may be:
But thine is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to
weep.
