1 Sing, ev’ry heart, glad praise to God on high;
Let joyous anthems cleave the arching sky;
All thro’ the days so full of joy and light;
Worship the King who reigns in heaven’s height.

Refrain:
Praise him with songs of rejoicing,
Praise him, the Father above,
Joining with earth’s happy voices,
Praising the God of our love.

2 Sing, ev’ry heart, in one unbroken strain;
Send forth the song o’er mountain, hill and plain;
Bring to the Lord the glory due his name,
Let all the earth his majesty proclaim. [Refrain]

3 Sing, ev’ry heart, this happy Sabbath day,
Praise and adore his holy name alway;
Let all unite their tribute glad to bring,
To him be glory evermore, our 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.
