Asleep in Jesus

1Asleep in Jesus!
Blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.

2Asleep in Jesus!
O how sweet To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to rest In hope of being ever blest.

3Asleep in Jesus!
Peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Saviour's pow'r.

4Asleep 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.
