Pallbearers Deacons of Gumming Grove Baptist Church
I am at home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright, There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light
Ml the pain and grief is over, every restless yearning passed; 1 am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last Did you wonder 1 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 1 have one doubt or dread.
Then you must not grieve sorely for I love you dearly still, try to see beyond earths shadows, pray and trust the Fathers wilL
There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand, do it now, while life remains. You shall rest in Jesus land
when that work is all completed, He will gently call you home, when that work is all completed, He will gently call you home, 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.
Acknowledgement
