I Fall Asleep in Jesus' Wounds - Paul Eber - Winkworth translation - #585

 Norma Boeckler's Christian Art





I Fall Asleep in Jesus' Wounds



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

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.

Paul Eber - author
