1 Hark! Hark! Hark!
Hear the birds so gay,
Singing loud, sweet and clear,
As they float away.
Swift their songs rise in sunny skies,
Praising God, praising God, the Father dear.

Refrain:
Now we’ll march, march, march,
Singing as we go—
Hosanna! to the children’s Friend
Whose love we know;
Now we’ll march, march, march,
Singing as we go—
Hosanna! to the children’s Friend
Whose love we know.

2 Hark! Hark! Hark!
Hear the children tell,
In a sweet song of love,
As their voices swell,
Of the Friend who doth blessings send
From His home, from His home, of light above. [Refrain]

3 Hark! Hark! Hark!
With the joy bells chime,
As we give thanks and sing,
While our hearts keep time;
Glory! be unto God most high,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! the children’s King. [Refrain]

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.
