Hymn 750 – HE's asleep Jesus saith | C&S English Hymnary

1. HE's asleep Jesus saith Of Lazarus His friend Was dead, buried beneath the earth In the sepulchre laid. 2. Four whole days he was dead He's asleep Jesus saith Jesus, resurrection and life Unto all that believes. 3. Christ friends ever shall live To celestial being form Away from earthly worms and dust With Angelic hosts fly. 4. Sleep on! sleep on! belov'd Thy companion is Christ Be courageous, soundeth His voice Thou shall with me “arise”. 5. Soon His voice thou shall hark From thy rest home below The sounding voice of Christ Jesus To thee saying arise!. 6. Thine sorrow bid away But be alive in hope Dear belov'd farewell, thee we bid Sleep on and take thy rest. 7. We shall to rest be laid When to us sound the call That we at dawn may meet again At the feet of Lord AMEN
