"There's a land where the birds are ever singing,
Where the flowers in beauty never fade;
Where the joybells of love ever ringing,
And no evil shall ever dare invade
We can tell of the way she has traveled,
When at last she shall enter heaven's door;
And the problems of life will be unraveled,
When we meet her on that eternal shore. .
She shall gaze on his face in adoration,
Joy resplendent shall thrill our souls anew,
As she joins the King of salvation
And eternity's glories come to view.

GOING HOME
By Mary 'Pietsch
There was a joyous welcome in Heaven today
When one of our dear ones heard the Savior say,
"Come, your work on earth is done,
I need you in my Heavenly Home."
Our hearts were saddened as we said "Good bye."
And we are so prone to wonder Why?
But our Savior always knows what's best
So in Him we can securely rest.
The Savior takes him by the hand
And shows him over glory land
And all the things He has prepared
For those who trust His loving care.
Of course our days seem long and dreary
And at night we are Oh, so weary,
But after all it won't be long
"Till we too shall join the Heavenly throng.
And when that joyous day appears
Our Savior shall wipe away all tears
And with our dear ones we shall be
At Home, sweet Home, through all eternity.
