1. Asleep, in Jesus! Blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep; A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. 2. 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! 3. Asleep tn Jesus! Peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Savior's power.

4. Asleep In Jesus! Oh, for me May such a blissful refuge be! Securely shall my ashes lie And wait the summons from on high. 5. Asleep in Jesus! Time nor space Debars this precious "hiding-place"; On Indian plains or Lapland snows Believers find the same repose. 6. Asleep in Jesus! Far from Thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But there is still a blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep.
