Lyics"Asleep in Jesus!" blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep -
A calm and undisturb'd repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
"Asleep in Jesus!" oh, how sweet,
To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to sing
That Death has lost his venom'd sting.
"Asleep in Jesus!" peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest:
No fear nor wo shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's pow'r.
"Asleep in Jesus!" oh, for me
May such a blissful refuge be:
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high.
