Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
1
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleepFrom which none ever wake to weep;A calm and undisturbed repose,Unbroken by the last of foes.
2
Asleep in Jesus! O how sweetTo be for such a slumber meet!With holy confidence to restIn hope of being ever blest.
3
Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest,Whose waking is supremely blest;No fear, no woe, shall dim that hourThat manifests the Saviour's power.
4
Asleep in Jesus! Soon to rise,When the last trump shall rend the skies;Then burst the fetters of the tomb,And wake in full, immortal bloom.
