ASLEEP IN JESUS
Return, O wanderer, return

Those warm desires that in thee burn
Were kindled by reclaiming grace.

How freely Jesus can forgive.

Return, O wanderer, return
God calling yet! – shall I not hear?
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 428 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God calling yet!--shall I not hear?
Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear?
Shall life's swift passing years all fly,
And still my soul in slumber lie?
2 God calling yet!--shall I not rise?
Can I His loving voice despise,
And basely His kind care repay?
He calls me still: can I delay?
3 God calling yet!--and shall He knock,
And I my heart the closer lock?
He still is waiting to receive,
And shall I dare His Spirit grieve?
4 God calling yet!--and shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still:--My heart, awake!
5 Ah, yield Him all: in Him confide:
Where but with Him doth peace abide?
Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven,
And let the spirit rise to heaven!
6 God calling yet!--I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay.
Vain world, farewell! from thee I part:
The voice of God hath reached my heart. Topics: The Gospel Call; Holy Ghost Grieved; Repentance Used With Tune: ASLEEP IN JESUS
God calling yet! – shall I not hear?
At even, ere the sun was set
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 316 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set,
The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay;
Oh, in what divers pains they met!
Oh, with what joy they went away!
2 Once more ’tis eventide, and we,
Oppressed with various ills, draw near;
What if Thy form we cannot see?
We know and feel that Thou art here.
3 O Saviour Christ! our woes dispel,
For some are sick, and some are sad,
And some have never loved Thee well,
And some have lost the love they had;
4 And some are pressed with worldly care,
And some are tried with sinful doubt;
And some such grievous passions tear
That only Thou canst cast them out.
5 And some have found the world is vain,
Yet from the world they break not free,
And some have friends who give them pain,
Yet have not-sought a friend in Thee.
6 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest,
For none are wholly free from sin;
And they who fain would serve Thee best
Are conscious most of wrong within.
7 O Saviour Christ! Thou too art Man;
Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
Thy kind, but searching glance can scan
The very wounds that shame would hide.
8 Thy touch has still its ancient power;
No word from Thee can fruitless fall;
Hear in this solemn evening hour,
And in Thy mercy heal us all.

At even, ere the sun was set
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #57b (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
2 Asleep in Jesus! O how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to sing
That death hath lost its venomed sting!
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! O for me
May such a blissful refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high.

And if I would from Thee depart,
Then clasp me, Saviour, to Thy heart.

Tear every idol from Thy throne,
And reign, my Saviour, reign alone. Topics: Discipline; Holiness; Protection, prayed for Languages: English Tune Title: ASLEEP IN JESUS

Person Name: Anon. Composer of "ASLEEP IN JESUS" in Christian Hymns In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
