Hymns of Vernon Higham


At the beginning of every month, a different hymn by Vernon Higham will appear in this space. Hymn for September 2008:

Scripture associated with this hymn: Hebrews 13:5
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee

I saw a new vision of Jesus,
A view I'd not seen here before,
Beholding in glory so wondrous
With beauty I had to adore.
I stood on the shores of my weakness,
And gazed at the brink of such fear;
'Twas then that I saw Him in newness,
Regarding Him fair and so dear.

My Saviour will never forsake me,
Unveiling His merciful face,
His presence and promise almighty,
Redeeming His loved ones by grace.
In shades of the valley's dark terror,
Where hell and its horror hold sway,
My Jesus will reach out in power,
And save me by His only way.

For yonder a light shines eternal,
Which spreads through the valley of gloom;
Lord Jesus, resplendent and regal,
Drives fear far away from the tomb.
Our God is the end of the journey,
His pleasant and glorious domain;
For there are the children of mercy,
Who praise Him for Calvary's pain.

Composition of Hymns


Most of Vernon Higham's hymns were written during a period of serious illness. The hymns reflect the nearness of the Lord at a time of weakness. The very first hymn written in this period of ill health was 'I saw a new vision of Jesus - A view I'd not seen here before'. Other well known hymns include, 'Great is the Gospel of our Glorious God' and 'Deep in my heart there is a sigh'.

The majority of Vernon Higham's hymns can be found in 'The Hymns of Vernon Higham' published by Tentmaker. Other publications include some of his Welsh hymns.

A number of well known hymns by Vernon Higham, and also more recent compositions, will be included in the new hymn book called 'Christian Worship', due to be published in 2009/2010.

Deep in my heart


Deep in my heart there is a sigh,
A longing, Lord, for Thee;
To know the depths that in Thee lie,
The grace of Calvary.
O grant that I might understand
Thy glorious mystery,
More of Thyself, and by Thy hand
Obedience stir in me.
