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
You must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you all dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s will.
