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 illuminated
Every dark and fearful glade.
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:
O, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
