/ am home in Heaven, dear ones_; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfectjoy and beauty in this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over. Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. There is work still waitingfor you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth - You shall rest in Jesusland. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture ofthat meeting, Oh, thejoy to see you come!
