1. Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes to weep
.s:s.s/s:m:f.s/l:-.l:d’.l/s.m:r;f/m:-
A calm and undisturbed repose
Unbroken by the last of foes.
2. Asleep in Jesus, Peaceful rest
Whose waking is Supremely blest
No fear, no woe shall dim that hour,
That manifests the Saviour Power.
3. Asleep in Jesus O for me
May such a blissful refuge be
Securely shall my ashes lie
Waiting the Summons from on high.
4. Asleep in Jesus, far from thee
Their kindreds and their grave may be
But there is still a blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes to weep.
