Asleep in Jesus

Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,

From which none ever wakes to weep!

A calm and undisturbed repose,

Unbroken by the last of foes.

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.

Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,

Whose waking is supremely blest!

No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour

That manifests the Savior's power.

Asleep in Jesus! O for me

May such a blissful refuge be!

Securely shall my ashes lie,

waiting the summons from on high.
