I felt the light of heaven,
it was shining down on me,
I heard His voice, He called my name,
“my child, come follow me;”

There is no pain,
there is no hurt nor sadness anywhere,
In heaven there is joy and love
and I’ll be waiting there;

For on the day I left this earth
I felt your many tears,
And now I watch you from above
and keep you very near;

It hurts to be apart from me,
but be patient for the day,
When we meet again in love and peace
when you too come this way.

Safely Home

I am home in heaven, dear ones,
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is a perfect joy and beauty
In the 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.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand,
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in God’s own land.
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!
