I Fall Asleep in Jesus' Wounds

Paul Eber • Catherine Winkworth • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 2:29

Verse 1

I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds; There pardon for my sins abounds. Yea, Jesus' blood and righteousness My jewels are, my glorious dress. In these before my God I'll stand When I shall reach the heav'nly land.

Verse 2

With peace and joy I now depart; God's child I am with all my heart. I thank thee, death, thou leadest me To that true life where I would be. So cleansed by Christ, I fear not death. Lord Jesus, strengthen Thou my faith.
