Perfect Peace . . .
I look not back-God knows the fruitless efforts, The wasted hours, the sinning and regrets; I leave them all with Him Who blots the record, And graciously forgives, and then forgets.
I look not forward-God sees all the future, The road that's short or long will lead me home; And He will face with me its every trial, And bear for me the burden that may come.
I look not around me-then would fears assail me, So wild the tumult of life's restless sea; So dark the world, so filled with war and evil, So vain the hope of comfort and of ease.
I look not inward-that would make me wretched, For I have naught on which to stay my trust; Nothing I see but failures and shortcomings, And weak endeavors crumbling into dust.
But I look up, up-into the face of Jesus! For there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; And there is joy, and love, and light for darkness, And perfect peace, and every hope fulfilled.

Home .at Last
Welcome, dear Child, you are Home at last, And now the burden of living is past.
There's work for you in My Kingdom, dear, And you are needed and wanted here. We cannot understand His ways, Nor can we count our earthly days; But who are we to question and doubt, God knoweth well what He's about. So, weep not, she's just gone on ahead, Don't think of her as being dead: She's out of sight for a little while
And you'll miss her touch, and her little smile, But you know she is safe in the home above Where there is nothing but peace and love. And, surely you would not deny her peace;
And you're glad she has found release. Think of her as a soul that is free
And Home at last, where she wanted to be.
