I
SLEEPING 'NEATH THE WILTED FLOWERS,
'NEATH THE BED WHERE LOVED ONES TROD.
NONE WILL EVER DARE TO WAKE THEM,
NONE EXCEPT THE SON OF GOD.
II
SLEEPING IN THE ARMS OF JESUS,
WITH ANGLES KEEPING GUARD
RESTING WITH THE SILENT NUMBER
IN A LONELY OLD CHURCH YARD,
III
SLEEPING WHERE THE GENTLE BREEZE IS
WHISPERING DOWN FROM HEAVENS DOOR.
WHERE THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL WAKE UP
THEY SHALL RISE TO SLEEP NO MORE.
CHORUS
THEY SLEEP (SO SWEETLY SLEEP)
THEY SLEEP (WHILE ANGLES KEEP)
SLEEPING 'NEATH THE SHADED FLOWERS
THEY SLEEP (THEY GENTLY SLEEP)
THEY SLEEP (SO SWEETLY SLEEP)
SLEEPING 'NEATH THE WILTED FLOWERS.
