The hymn is dedicated to her becuase I think she would be very please that I put her words to music.
I hope you enjoy this hymn of the words by her and the music as a hymn by Me.

Lyrics: 1. Teach me, Lord, to ever serve thee.
May I never go astray.
May I find the sad and lonely,
Bring some joy and hope, I pray.
2. Where the cares of life e'er fallen
May Thy light be found anew.
Seeking for the countless blessings
Striving on Thy will to do.
3. When the call of life is e'er ended,
May I gain a place with thee.
Give my service grace contending,
Faithfully true, unending.
4. Thus a life may e'er be rewarded.
Planned upon another sphere,
Guided by the Masters' teachings
May I come dwell with thee there?
