1 Shout, shout rejoicing, your glad praises voicing,
High through the starlight His banners fling,
Tell out the story of Christ and His glory,
Forward! and worship the Saviour King.

Refrain:
Shout! glad praises voicing,
On, hail Him rejoicing;
Praise Him, King of earth and heaven,
Jesus, Lord of all.

2 Bear to each nation His wondrous salvation,
March on where shineth the Day-spring bright,
On, boldly pressing, His dear name confessing,
Hail Him forever! the world’s true Light. [Refrain]

3 Haste, loyal mortals, see heav’n’s golden portals
Swing wide, for cometh the welcome Guest,
Jesus, victorious, whose reign shall be glorious,
Gift of the Father, divinely blest. [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.
