Safely Home
I'm Home in Heaven dear one's
Oh so happy and do bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over
Everlasting tossing passed;
I'm now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder why I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
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 dead?
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 is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while in life remain
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!
