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 is over,
Every restless tossing passed,
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
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
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!
All the pain and grief is over,
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
