1 For the honor of the King press forward,
Ever ready for His least command;
Rouse to duty! swift the days are flying,
Showing others on which side you stand.

Refrain:
For the honor of the King faithful prove in ev’rything,
Speed the work He bids you do;
For the honor of the King other lives rejoicing bring;
He depends on you,
He depends on you.

2 For the honor of the King be loyal,
As you mingle with the busy throng;
Life is not a time of ease, but conflict;
Claim His promise till your heart grows strong. [Refrain]

3 For the honor of the King live nobly,
Cast aside each sin whate’er it be;
While His precious name is in your keeping,
Let the world in you His likeness see. [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.
