Safely Home
(Author unknown)

"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 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 of 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 yoy 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.
