1 Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!
From which none ever wake 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 manifest 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.
