Koine
i know of a sleep
I know of a sleep in Jesus name, to rest.
The earth shall enfold me deep within her breast
I fear, I fear, I fear not what the world may say.
Through toil and woe, with music weâve sung to the Lord
Sweet hymns of redemption âJesus the Christ has won!â
Amen, Amen, sing Amen, so shall it be.
I know of a voice whose tender song I hear
âThis childâs not dead, but sleeps in my heavenly bed.â
Arise, arise, arise my child arise.
Good bye my friend. We sing our refrain again
âChrist Jesus was slain. Christ Jesus was slain
âChrist Jesus was slain. Forever our friendship remains.â
