I know your home in heaven,
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 know your at peace forever
and safely home at last

I wondered why you left so calmly
in the valley of the shade
but I know Jesus illumined
every dark and fearful glade

Did he come Himself to meet you
in that way so hard to tread?
Im sure with Jesus' arm to lean on
you could not have one doubt or dread

I know i must not grieve so sorely,
for I know you love me still
I will look beyond the earth's shadows
and pray to trust my Fathers will

I know there is work for me here,
so I will not idly stand
I know why life remaineth
I shall rest in Jesus' land

I know when my work is completed
He will gently call me home
Oh, the rapture of that meeting
and the joy you'll have to see me come home
