Asleep In Jesus, Oh, How Sweet
The Scene Of Closing Day,
Where Holy Angels Come To Greet,
And Bear The Soul Away!
The Angels Bore Our Loved One Home
In Shining Garments Fair;
And Some Bright Day We Hope To Come
And Join Thee Over There.
With Grace Divine And Perfect Love
Thy Pilgrim Days Were Blest,
But Sweeter Far Thy Joys Above,
And More Serene Thy Rest.
Thy Prayers And Tears Have Gone Before,
Thy Works Shall Follow On,
And Gather Gems Forevermore,
To Glitter In Thy Crown.
May We Who Knew And Loved Thee Here
With Angels Bright Ascend,
Thy Blessed Heavenly Rest To Share,
When Mortal Life Shall End.
