Hymn Choice
for September 2010
"My Heart"

“He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them and rose again.”  2 Corinthians 5:15
(D.C.M.  St. Matthew)

What caused my heart to turn away
From Thee, the Holy One;
And ever live for self-display,
Delight in sin alone?
It was my pride whose haughty head
Denied that I should bow;
Yet in my soul a sudden dread
Appeared, I know not how.

It was a work ordained in heaven,
Conceived by sovereign plan,
Redemption sweet for fallen men;
And yet from God I ran.
Restoring grace laid hold on me,
And turned my gaze to know
The horrors of the law, to see
The sorrows I did sow.

O Holy Spirit, what is this
Which shows a ransom paid,
A debt removed, this work of His
The Son of God has made?
I live in Him who purchased me,
And in His grace am found;
Now to this cross of Calvary
I am for ever bound.

The Hymns
of W.V.Higham
_{Published by Tentmaker}

“A bound volume of 158 hymns which will make an excellent gift. This great preacher has the compelling tenderness of Welsh sacred poetry buried in his soul. The hymns include exultant praise, reflection and petition. Some were composed during times of sickness, and show the way to revive “sensible” grace when clouds obscure and shadows fall. Excellent for composing the heart for devotions.” Peter Masters
