I
am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh,
so happy and so bright!
There
is perfect joy and beauty
In
this everlasting light.
All
the pain and grief are over,
All
the 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 or 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
that work is all completed,
He
will gently call you Home;
Oh,
the rapture of that meeting,
Oh,
the joy to see you come!
