      Asleep in Jesus; Blessed sleep! From which none ever wakes to weep

      A calm and undisturbed repose,

      Unbroken by its last of foes.

      Asleep in Jesus; O how sweet!

      To be for such a slumber meet,

      With Holy confidence to sing,

      That Death hast lost its venomed sting.

      Albert A. Cowdery
