Representative Text

1 Do not be ashamed to own Him,
Or obey your Lord’s command;
In your every word and action
Show the world just where you stand.

Refrain:
Show the world just where you stand,
Gladly follow His command;
Your all resign to Christ divine,
Show the world just where you stand.

2 When temptations throng around you,
Closer hold His nail pierced hand;
You have joined His blessèd service,
Show the world just where you stand. [Refrain]

3 Do not be ashamed to own Him,
Tell it out thro’ all the land;
Loyal ever to the Master,
Show the world just where you stand. [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.
