Representative Text

1 Tho’ the dark clouds rise on the sunny skies,
As I run my earthly race;
There’ll be light above, in the land of love,
When I see my Saviour’s face.

Refrain:
When I see the blessed face,
Of Him who saved me by His grace;
All my sorrows past, joy will come at last—
When I see my Saviour’s face.

2 When temptations press, when in sore distress,
I can find no resting place;
To my heart I say, “they will pass away,
When I see my Saviour’s face.” [Refrain]

3 So I trusting go, thro’ the world below,
Just a sinner saved by grace;
In that heav’nly land, I shall understand,
When I see my Saviour’s face. [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.
