He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #920 (1886) Lyrics: 1 He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest, No mortal strife invades his breast; No pain, nor sin, nor woe, nor care, Can reach the silent slumberer there. 2 He lives, his Saviour to adore, And meekly all his sufferings bore: He loved, and all resigned to God; Nor murmured at his chastening rod. 3 Does earth attract thee here? they cried; The dying Christian thus replied, While pointing upward to the sky, "My treasure is laid up on high." 4 He sleeps in Jesus soon to rise, When the last trump shall rend the skies; Then burst the fetters of the tomb, To wake in full, immortal bloom. 5 He sleeps in Jesus cease thy grief; Let this afford thee sweet relief That, freed from death's triumphant reign, In heaven he will live again.
