Hymn 301 - Asleep in Jesus, Blessed Sleep

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! O how sweet

To be for such a slumber meet;

With holy confidence to rest

In hope of being ever blest.

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.
