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
suffering is over
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace
forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder 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 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 is still work
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
completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that
meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
