Asleep In Jesus ! Blessed Sleep !
From Which None Ever Wake 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 Hath Lost Its Venomed Sting !

Asleep In Jesus ! Peaceful Rest !
Whose Waking Is Supremely Blest;
No Fear No Woe Shall Dim The Hour
That Manifests The Saviour’s Power.

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 ! Far From Thee
Thy Kindred And Their Graves May Be
But Thine Is Still A Blessed Sleep
From Which None Ever Wake To Weep.
