About WHO IS HE? LET HIM IN / ASLEEP IN JESUS!
This choir sheet brings together two deeply moving hymns that speak to different but connected seasons of the Christian journey. The first, "Who Is He? Let Him In," is an urgent, gentle call to conversion. It paints a vivid picture of the Saviour standing just outside the door of our hearts, knocking and waiting to bring peace. Choirs often sing this during Lenten retreats, penitential services, or as a reflection hymn, urging the congregation not to delay in welcoming the Lord.
The second piece, "Asleep In Jesus!", shifts the focus to the Christian hope in eternal life. Set to a comforting melody by W. B. Bradbury, it is a staple for funerals, requiem Masses, and the month of November. The verses offer profound consolation to grieving families, reminding the faithful that death is a peaceful, undisturbed rest before the final awakening.
Having both pieces on hand gives a choir director versatile options for worship. One invites the living to open their hearts to grace, while the other commends the departed to God's keeping. Sung with careful attention to their gentle phrasing, these hymns bring a spirit of quiet trust to the church.
