MRS. JANE OLDS.
MRS. JANE OLDS.
Mrs. Jane Olds departed this life April 4, 1885, in Alaiedon, aged seventy-six years, six months and six days.
Our mother has departed,
We now for her do mourn; Our hearts are sad and aching
Since she is from us torn.
Her soul doth sleep in Jesus,
A peaceful, quiet rest; She is from sin delivered
And numbered with the blest.
Her path on earth was weary,
And thorns lay in the way, But now her spirit tasteth
Of that eternal day.
Oh, yes, quite oft the storm cloud
Did gather thick and fast,
, But now that cloud is lifted,
And is a burden past.
She is now with her husband,
Her daughters and her son, Who crossed the sea before her,
When all their work was done.
Her parents and her sisters,
Yes, brothers, too, are there, They're singing with the angels,
Their crowns are bright and fair.
Four of us are left to mourn,
In this cold world of woe; But we know 'twill not be long
'Till we are called to go.
We'll claim you then, dear mother,
And sing the songs you sing, And offer praise to Jesus,
Our Savior and our King.
