Long before we had heard of Townend or Getty or Sovereign Grace Music, Timothy Dudley-Smith (TDS) was writing hymns: scriptural, doctrinal, devotional hymns.
His output over more than 50 years can only be described as prodigious and it includes some now established classics such as ‘Tell out, my soul’ and ‘Lord, for the years’. He has written numerous hymns for Christmas out of a long-held habit of penning a new one every year for his personal Christmas card.
