Safely Home

I am home in heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy

and so bright! there is perfect joy and beauty, in

this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over,

every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever,

safely home in Heaven at last. Did you ever wonder why I,

so calmly, trod the valley of the shade? Oh! But Jesus' love illuminated, every dark and fearful glade. And He came

Himself to meet me, in that way so hard to tread;

And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one

doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely,

for I love you dearly still: Try to look beyond earth's

shadows, Pray to trust our Father's Will. There's

work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand;

Do it now, while life remaineth — You shall rest in

Jesus' land. When that work is all completed,

He will gently call you home' Oh, the rapture of

that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!
