Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear one, Oh, so happy and so bright, There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and sorrow over, Every sadness tossing passed, I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder why I'm 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, How could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely For I love you so much still, Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray and trust our Father's will, There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand. Do it now while life remaineth, You shall rest in our Lord's land.

When your work is finally completed, Jesus will gently call you home; The rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!!!!
