Latinised Hymns

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
SINCE JESUS CAME INTO MY HEART!
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,

FLOODS OF JOY O'ER MY SOUL
LIKE THE SEA BILLOWS ROLL,

I'm possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,

There's a light in the valley of death now for me,
And the gates of the city beyond I can see,

I shall go there to dwell in that city, I know,
And I'm happy, so happy, as onward I go!
SINCE JESUS CAME INTO MY HEART.

K.J.D.Matthews

Mea vita novatur ita ut stupeam,
COR JESUS UBI INTROIIT:
mihi lux fovet illa petita animam,

MIHI LAETITIAE
CUMULANTUR AQUAE,

Data spes stabilis, bene fida, mihi,
nec opacat iter nigra nox dubii,

Ubi mors, ibi ave mihi vise nitor!
Procul Urbs mihi cernitur ulterior,

Erit Urbs habitanda mihi illa, scio;
ita terque quaterque beatus eo,
COR JESUS UBI INTROIIT.
