Hymn #489

Asleep in Jesus!

Lyrics

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

Asleep in Jesus! 0 how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to rest
In hope of being ever blest.

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 power.

Verse 4

Asleep 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.
