| Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, the son of Clay H. and Ora M. Britton. He served in the US Army from October 11, 1944 to November 1, 1946 in Europe and Japan.Safely HomeI am home in Heaven, dear ones;Oh, so happy and so bright!There is perfect joy and beautyIn the is 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 calmlyTrod the valley of the shade?Oh! But Jesus' love illuminedEvery dart and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet meIn that way so hard to tread;And with Jesus' arm to lean on,Could I have one doubt or dread?Then you must not grieve so sorely,For I love you dearly stillTry 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! |
