489 ~ Asleep in Jesus!

1

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

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.

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.

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.
