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! oh, how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to sing
That death hath lost its venomed sting!

3.
Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest!
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear—no woe shall dim the hour
That manifests the Savior's power.
