We are not lost who find the light of the Son and stars and God.

Safely Home

I am home in heaven, dear ones; Oh so happy and so bright! Ther eis 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 Heave 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 the way so hard to treat; And with Jesus' 
armss to lean on. Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not greave so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look 
beyond earth's shadows, Pray and trust over the 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 your work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh, The rapture 
of that meeting. Oh, the joy to see you come!
