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 the 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
0shadows,
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 coming!
