She has written several hymns which continue to be sung by Christians all over the world. But most do not realize that Havergal was far more than a hymnist. She was a prolific and talented poet, musician, and devotional writer—and beyond that she obviously lived the life with God that she so often describes in writing. In her own day, she was a widely read and beloved author, in fact the only woman before the twentieth-century to have over a million books printed. (For more on her life, see the biography \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reformers.com.au\/products\/9780981732176-ever-only-all-for-thee-pamela-bugden?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=be2755936\u0026amp;_ss=r\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEver, \u003c\/em\u003eonly\u003cem\u003e ALL for Thee\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnfortunately, her work is largely unknown today, except for the few hymns we still sing.
