SAFELY HOME
I am now at home in heaven; All's so happy all so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty \n this everlasting light.
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.
All the pain and grief are over, Every restless tossing past; 1 am now at peace forever, Safely home in heaven at last.
There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idle stand; Do your work while life remaineth-- You shall rest in Jesus' land.
Did you wonder l so calmy Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! Bui Jesus' love illumined Every dark and fearful glade.
When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh, the rapture of the meeting! Oh the joy to see you come!
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?
