They live in treasured memories In the hearts of those Whose lives they've touched And shared along the way.

All the pain and grief is over,
Did you wonder I so calmly
And He came Himself to meet me
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
There is work still waiting for you,
When that work is all completed,
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
