Jones Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Not a cloud to hide our sky Lyrics: 1 Not a cloud to hide our sky When we reach our home; Never tempest sweeping by When we reach our home; Not a wave our bark to toss, Not a thought of pain or loss, Crowns of glory after cross When we reach our home. Refrain: When we reach our home, Restful, happy home, Over there were the many mansions be, Bright, eternal home. 2 Never wrong against the right When we reach our home; Never sinful hosts to fight When we reach our home; With our shining shield and sword Let us battle for our Lord, Thinking of the blest reward When we reach our home. [Refrain] 3 Nevermore a grave appears When we reach our home; Wip’d away are sorrow’s tears When we reach our home; Not a moan above our dead, Not a lonely path to tread, Not a bitter tear to shed When we reach our home. [Refrain] 4 We will labor, watch and pray Till we reach our home; Cling to Christ our hope and stay Till we reach our home; All our sorrows meekly bear, Each with each life’s burdens share, Thinking of the glory there When we reach our home.

Died: 1915, Binghamton, New York. Buried: Oran Community Church Cemetery, Pompey, Onondaga County, New York. Daughter of Eleazer Rice, Jones lived in Onondaga County, New York.

She was always fond of reading, and was a great singer, with a clear ringing voice. On July 7, 1844, she married a son of Rev. Zenas Jones; her husband died in 1879. Her song writing career began when her poetry came to the attention of Dr. M. J. Munger, who asked if she could write some Sunday school hymns for him. She went on to write for Daniel Towner, J. C. Ewing, the Fillmore brothers, and others. --hymntime.com/tch
