I am borne in Heaven, dear ones; Ob, 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.

1 Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus' love illuminated Every dark and fearful And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with 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 shadbws, Pray to trust pur 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 that work is all completed. He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that Oh, the Joy to see you come! i.
