HYMN Lyrics Text: Asleep In Jesus, Blessed Sleep

1. Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep

from which none ever wakes 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 has lost it’s venom sting.

3. Asleep in Jesus peaceful rest

whose waking is supremely blest

No fear no woe shall dim that hour

that manifest the saviour’s power.

4. Asleep in Jesus, oh for me

may such a blissful refuge be.

Securely shall my ashes lic

and wait the summons from on high

5. Asleep in Jesus far from thee

thy kindred and their graves may be

But thine is still a blessed sleep

from which none ever wakes to weep.
