Representative Text

1 Praise ye the Lord!
For great is he and mighty!
Show his salvation forth from day to day!
He doth preserve the souls of all his people;
Praise him and magnify his name alway!

Chorus:
Praise ye the Lord!
Ye children of the kingdom,
Sing unto him your songs of glad acclaim;
Shout, shout for joy!
Shout, shout for joy!
Praise ye the Lord and magnify his name!

2 Give unto God the majesty and glory
Due to his name!
O worship at his feet!
Enter his gates with songs and glad thanksgivings,
Render to him a service full, complete. [Chorus]

3 O clap your hands!
Ye hills, break forth in singing!
Glad in the Lord should all his people be;
Shout, shout for joy until the mountains echo,
From shore to shore, the anthem of the free. [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.
