14*. Asleep in Jesus, Blessèd Sleep | L.M. |
| by Mrs. McKay |

|
| 1 | Asleep in Jesus, blessèd sleep | 1 Thessalonians 4:14; Revelation 21:4; 1 Corinthians 15:26 |
| From which none ever wakes to weep; |
| A calm and undisturbed repose, |
| Where pow'rless is the last of foes. |
|
| 2 | Asleep in Jesus: oh, how sweet | Colossians 1:12; 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 |
| To be for such a slumber meet, |
| With holy confidence to sing, |
| That death has lost its venomed sting. |
|
| 3 | 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. |
