Safely Home
I am home in heaven dear ones. Oh, so happy and so bright There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting 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 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 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 |  |
