J is for the journey he has taken,
0 is only I am left to mourn;
H is for the hour he will awaken
Near the throne of God he will be

borne.
 

And for me a light now points to

glory,

 
Mercy for my sins I now implore;
Earnestly I now recall the story^___
Light through darkness shines for-

ever more.

I is for imperfect ways forgiven,
S is surely He will guide me home
Safely where the storm clouds all are

riven,

A is always safe no more to roam.
 
S is safe and singing songs of glory
Q is quickly to obey the call.
Unto life it is the glad old story
Into life through Christ from Adam's

      fall.

R is for redeemed my chains are riven
Entered in salvation e'er too late.
 

Father's name and mother's
        here are given,
They have passed beyond the
        pearly gate.
 

M is for the memory of a mother,
E is for glad eyes she now can see;
L is for the light no power can

smother,

I is into immortality.
S is safe beyond this vale of weeping,
Safe into that bright celestial home.
A is always in God's blessed keeping,
 
And no more in darkness will she

roam.

 
J is joy to see his friends and meet

them

On that bright and fair celestial

shore;

H is hope that I some day will greet

them,

N is nearer home to part no more.
 
S is satisfied to dwell forever
Quietly where living waters fall.
Untold joys no power can ever sever
I immortal life beyond recall.
R is for remembrance we still miss

them

Every day since they have gone

before.

 

Read the letters down, you'll
        name my parents,
And we'll meet again to part no
        more.
