"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. Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I loved you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's will. Oh, Most Pure Heart of Mary, inflame our heart's with love for the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Our Father Hail Mary."
