Representative Text

1 Sing for Jesus, Jesus only,
Who from sin has set you free;
Tell of mercy ever-flowing
From the cross of Calvary.

Chorus:
Sing for Jesus, sing for Jesus,
Be a witness for your King!
Sing for Jesus, Jesus only,
God will bless you while you sing.

2 Sing of love that passeth knowledge,
God will help you, do not fear;
Consecrate your sweetest music
To the Friend you hold so dear. [Chorus]

3 Let your voice ring out with gladness,
Seeking only to adore
Christ, the Fount of endless blessing;
Praise His name forevermore. [Chorus]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
