SAFELY HOME
I am home in heaven dear ones; Oh! So Happy and so Bright.
There is perfect joy and beauty In this ever-lasting light.
All the pain & all the grief is over, Every restless and tossing passed i am, sow 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 illuminated every
dark and fearfull glade. 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 greive 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' band. When the work is all completed, He will gently call you home. Oh! The rapture of that meeting Oh! The joy to see you come.

GRANDCHILDRENS
NO TIME
I had no time for sad farewells, For parting glances or sighs,
The Lord has come and bid me Go with Him beyond the skies.
I could not come to tell you, Your faces no longer will I see,
I did not know how quickly Our God would send for me.
I could not even linger, There was no time at all, They had come, no choice had I, But to answer our God's call.
Don't ever stop to wonder, Why could I not say good-bye, Just live and remember that there will A reunion for us in the sweet by & by.
