Representative Text

1 It’s up to you to make a fight
For all that’s good, and true and right;
To show by things you say and do,
How much the Lord has done for you.

Refrain:
It’s up to you, it’s up to you,
Great things for Christ your Lord to do,
To be a Christian brave and true,
It’s up to you, it’s up to you.

2 It’s up to you some soul to win,
Who wanders now in paths of sin;
To tell of Christ the crucified,
Who for a world of sin has died. [Refrain]

3 It’s up to you to live each day
In such a consecrated way
That weaker ones that round you throng,
May learn to sing redemption’s song. [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.
