Blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep; A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. Oh, how sweet To be for such a slumber meet, With holy confidence to sing That death has lost his venomed sting! Peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Savior's pow'r.

O for me May such a blissful refuge be! Securely shall my ashes lie And wait the summons from on high.

ASLEEP IN JESUS.
Apokalypse: Wann ist denn nun Weltuntergang? (GEO eBook Single) (German Edition).

It was Jesus who introduced us to the concept of death as a "sleep", when he told the mourners at the house of Jairus that the man's daughter was not dead, but asleep. The apostles continued the use of this gentle and meaningful euphemism. Paul spoke in 1 Corinthians The last line of this stanza shows that MacKay was thinking of the discussion of death and resurrection in 1 Corinthians when she says that our sleep will be "unbroken by the last of foes", she is surely referring to the last verse of this passage: But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.

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!. Asleep in Jesus!

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at His coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. Oh, how sweet, To be for such a slumber meet! With holy confidence to sing, That death has lost its venomed sting! Once again MacKay makes an oblique reference to 1 Corinthians 15, this time calling up verses O death, where is your sting?

Hymn Lyrics

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Physical death, separation of the soul from the body, came into the world as a result of sin, but it is spiritual death--separation from the soul from God--that gives physical death its true "sting". If the soul is reconciled with God, physical death is a temporary separation from spiritual family left behind, and a joyful reunion with those gone before. It was this confidence in sins forgiven that allowed Paul to say from his Roman prison cell, For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. Peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest! Another blessing of coming to that "sleep in Jesus" is the promise that we will wake in a place where "there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.
