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! O how sweet

To be for such a slumber meet!

With holy confidence to sing

That death has lost his venomed sting.

3 

Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,

Whose waking is supremely blest!

No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour

That manifests the Savior's power.

4 

Asleep in Jesus! O for me

May such a blissful refuge be!

Securely shall my ashes lie,

waiting the summons from on high.
