Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,

by Margarltt Maci Ay

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 489 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

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.
