Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
VERSE 2
Asleep in Jesus! oh how sweet,
To be for such a slumber meet;
With holy confidence to sing
That death has lost His venomed sting.
VERSE 3
Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's Pow'r.
VERSE 4
Asleep in Jesus! oh! for me
May such a blessed refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high.
VERSE 5
Asleep in Jesus! Far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be;
But there is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep.
