Representative Text

1 Fill the air with glad hosannas,
Come before your King today;
Like the children in the temple,
At his feet your tribute lay.

Refrain:
Set the joyful echoes ringing,
Unto God hosannas singing,
Blend your voices, happy voices,
In a song of jubilee;
Thro’ the summer’s hours of beauty,
Loyal be to faith and duty;
Praise, O praise the loving Father,
For his blessings full and free!

2 Praise him for the show’rs of blessing
Which upon you daily fall;
Tell to all the world his glory,
Own and crown him Lord of all. [Refrain]

3 Sing aloud with happy voices
Till the silv’ry echoes ring;
Let the sweetest songs be ever
Consecrated to our King. [Refrain]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest.
