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. And he came himself to meet me in that way so hard to thread; and with Jesus' arm to lean on, could I have one doubt of dread. 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.
