Fallen Asleep (1 Co. 15:6)
Mother Has Fallen Asleep
Mother was tired and weary, Weary with toil and with pain; Put by her glasses and rocker, She will not need them again. Into Heaven's mansions she's entered, never to sigh or to weep; After long years with life's struggles, Mother has fallen asleep. Near other loved ones we laid her now in the church yard to lie; And though our hearts are near broken, Yet we would not question why? She does not rest 'neath the grasses, Tho O'er her dear grave they creep, She has gone into the Kingdom, Mother has fallen asleep. Blast of the earth shall no longer Throw o'er our loved one a chill, Angels thru Heaven will guide her. Jesus will still bless and keep Not for the world would we wake her, Mother has fallen asleep.
Beautiful rest for the weary, Well deserved rest for the true; When our life's journey is ended, we shall again be with you. This helps to quiet our weeping Hark! Angels music so sweet! He giveth to his beloved, Beautiful, beautiful sleep.
