I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so
bright!
There is perfect joy and
beauty
In this everlasting
light.
All pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing
passed;
I am now 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
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 I have one doubt,
dread?
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.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly
stand;
Do it now, while life
remaineth
You shall rest in Jesus’
land.
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!—Unknown
