14*. Asleep in Jesus, Blessèd Sleep
L.M.
by M. Mackay
Asleep in Jesus, blessèd sleep
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Where pow’rless 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.
3
Asleep in Jesus, peaceful rest,
Whence waking we’re supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Savior’s power.
