He fell asleep in Jesus,
He has gone his dear Saviour to see;
His wishes he fully has gained,
He is now where he longed to be.
Then let us iorbear to complain.
That he has now gone from our sight;
We soon shall behold him again
With new and redoubled delight
No sickness or sorrow or pain
Shall ever disquiet him now,
For death TO his spirit was gain,
Since Christ was his life when below
His soul has now taken its flight
To mansions of glory above,
To mingle with angels of light,
And dwell in the kingdom of love.
