I am home in heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright. There is a 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.

Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh, but Jesus’ love illuminated Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me in the 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 death’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.
