I 1860 udkom en af Charities første kompositioner O for the robes of whiteness i form af en folder i umiddelbar forlængelse af den irske vækkelse i 1859. I 1863 skrev hun sin måske mest kendte salme "Before the Throne of God Above", som hun gav titlen The Advocate (en salme, der blev genoplivet i evangeliske kredse i slutningen af det tyvende århundrede). I 1867 tog Charities far familien med til Tattyreagh, Omagh, County Tyrone, hvor han blev rektor for St Columba's Church. Charitie fortsatte med sine kompositioner og udgav dem til sidst i et bind med titlen Within the Veil i 1867.

In 1860, one of Charitie's first compositions O for the robes of whiteness appeared in leaflet form in the immediate aftermath of the Irish 1859 revival. In 1863 she wrote perhaps her best known hymn "Before the Throne of God Above" which she entitled The Advocate (a hymn which was revived in evangelical circles in the late Twentieth Century). In 1867 Charitie's father took the family to Tattyreagh, Omagh, County Tyrone, when he became the rector of St Columba's Church. Charitie continued with her compositions eventually publishing them in a volume entitled Within the Veil in 1867.
