Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep: A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. 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! 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. Asleep in Jesus! Oh, for me May such a blissful refuge be: Securely shall my ashes lie, And wait the summons from on high. Asleep in Jesus! time nor space Affects this precious hiding place: On Indian plains or Lapland snows, Believers find the same repose.
