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.

Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever.

Safely home in heaven at last.

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!
