After 7 months of no answer, you may have already figured out what she said, but if not...
The first time she said:
"O magnify the Lord with me
Let us exalt His name together
He is worthy of all glory
I will bless Him all of the time."
The second time she recited a hymn:
"I came to Jesus just as I was
Weary, worn and sad
But I found in Him a resting place
And Jesus has made me glad"
Then she went into:
"I will bless Him
I will extol Him
I've got to honor Him
I've got to adore Him
I've got to worship
'Cause He is good
He is good, etc."
