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 love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows
Pray to trust our Father's will.
O! Most pure heart of Mary, in
flame our hearts with love for the
Sacred Heart of Jesus.
