| Text: | Asleep in Jesus |
| Author: | Margaret Mackay |
| Tune: | REST |
| Composer: | W. B. Bradbury |
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! O how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to rest
In hope of being ever blest.
3. Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's pow'r.
4. Asleep in Jesus! Soon to rise,
When the last trump shall read the skies;
Then burst the fetters of the tomb,
And wake in full, immortal bloom.
