Text Based On I Thessalonians Chapter 4 (KJV)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Asleep in Jesus!
1.
Asleep in Jesus! Blessèd sleep,
from which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
unbroken by the last of foes.
2.
Asleep in Jesus! Oh, how sweet-
to be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to rest-
in hope of being ever blest.
3.
Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest,
whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour-
that manifests the Saviour’s power.
4.
Asleep in Jesus! Soon to rise-
when the last trump shall rend the skies;
Then burst the fetters of the tomb,
and wake in full, immortal bloom.
A blessèd Seventh Day (Saturday) Sabbath, to all true believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
