This is page is dedicated to the memory of my 2 wonderful friends:

Safely Home

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,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever
Safely Home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder how I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Ah!  But Jesus' love illuminated
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me
In that way to 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' hand.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you HOME;
Oh, the rapture of the meeting!
Oh, the joy to see you come!

All the pain and grief are over,
Ever restless tossing passed,
Now at peace forever,
SAFELY HOME IN HEAVEN AT LAST!
