Brightly through the darkness will His face appear;

In our faithful army there is room for all. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [List the music pealing; hear our song of might]

Few of her classmates in Packer Institute, where she was for the most part educated, knew that the popular Mary Mathews was not American born and a Brooklyn girl. Her birthplace was Ireland and her ancestry Irish. She is the author of thirty or more known hymns, many of them incorporated in song books of a score of more songs and ballads, several of which have been set to music, and are familiar favorites, and of many lyrics and sonnets.
