Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep!
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Where powerless is 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!
Whence waking we’re supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour’s power.
