INTERMENT - Wildwood Cemetery - Wheaton, Minnesota

Safely HomeI 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' 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 that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home;Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!
