Hymnal: Joy to the World #149 (1879) First Line: Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep! Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!
From which none ever wake to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the lust of foes.
2 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest!
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour,
Which manifests the Savior's power.
3 Asleep in Jesus! oh, for me
May such a blissful refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high. Languages: English
Blessed Sleep
