1 Jehovah reigns! Awake! Awake!
O earth his praises ring!
Exalted high, behold, he reigns!
Rejoice! The Lord is King!

Chorus:
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Rejoice with one accord!
Rejoice! Rejoice!
And magnify the Lord!
O join with glad acclaim,
Sing praises to his name!
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Rejoice! The Lord is King!

2 His works his majesty proclaim,
Let praise take joyful wing;
All glory be unto his name!
Rejoice! The Lord is King! [Chorus]

3 The hills before his presence flee,
His voice doth silence bring;
With angel hosts eternally,
Rejoice! The Lord is King! [Chorus]

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.
