We ar 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;
We are now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder we are so calmly
trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet us
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could we have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For we love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
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;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Gui Jing's Funeral Service:
|
Goodbye Jing and Xin
May you ever grow in our hearts.
Now you belong to heaven,
And the stars spell out your name.
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind,
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in.
Your candles burned out long before
Your legend ever will.
Loveliness we've lost;
These empty days without your smile.
And even though we try,
The truth brings us to tears;
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years.
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind,
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in.
Your candles' burned out long before
Your legend ever will.
Goodbye Jing and Xin
May you ever grow in our hearts.
