1 May I be wise some soul to win,
Who else might tread the paths of sin,
Teach me to walk in all Thy ways,
O help me Lord, to live Thy praise.

Chorus:
To live Thy praise my aim shall be,
That those around Thy love may see,
O help me Lord thro’ all my days
To live Thy praise, to live Thy praise.

2 A heart renew’d by grace divine,
Where Thou dost dwell may this be mine,
That God’s dear love to all displays,
O help me Lord, to live Thy praise. [Chorus]

3 May ev’ry word Thy goodness show
While here I walk on earth below,
If dark or bright shall be my days,
O help me Lord, to live Thy praise. [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.
