Author: Daniel S. Warner Hymnal: Timeless Truths #736 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Asleep in Jesus, oh, how sweet Refrain First Line: The angels bore our loved one home Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus, oh, how sweet
The scene of closing day,
Where holy angels come to greet,
And bear the soul away!
Refrain:
The angels bore our loved one home
In shining garments fair;
And some bright day we hope to come
And join thee over there.
2 With grace divine and perfect love
Thy pilgrim days were blest,
But sweeter far thy joys above,
And more serene thy rest. [Refrain]
3 Thy prayers and tears have gone before,
Thy works shall follow on,
And gather gems forevermore,
To glitter in thy crown. [Refrain]
4 May we who knew and loved thee here
With angels bright ascend,
Thy blessed heav’nly rest to share,
When mortal life shall end. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Tune Title: [Asleep in Jesus, oh, how sweet]
