The text of the poem reads:
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 are 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 illumined Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me In that 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 earth'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.
When the work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!
