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. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but 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.

Will I Wake in Heaven?

I am feeling slow; I know someday soon It will be time to go. Tomorrow when I wake, Will I be here on earth; Will I still face my death Or will I know my rebirth? I can’t tell you now Because nobody knows Whether I’ll dress in my clothes Or in heavenly robes. All I know is I’m tired And life’s no longer sweet, And I’m ready to rest Lying safe at God’s feet.
