we dedicate this page
to our beloved classmate and friend, marius.
though you are gone,
you will live forever in our hearts.
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 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 your 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!
to
everything there is a season, a time and place under
heaven....
