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 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
