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 its venomed sting!

Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,
Where waking is supremely blest!
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour’s power!
