Song Lyrics
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 Savior’s power
Asleep in Jesus! Oh, for me
May such a blessed refuge be
Securely shall my ashes lie
And wait the summons from on high
