- W1036003271 abstract "Whether we worship in Canada or the United States, we are probably singing more and more hymns and songs from around the world in our faith communities. This is due, at least in part, to The Hymn Society's emphasis on global hymnody in recent decades and the work of our members in collecting and teaching these hymns and encouraging their use. Many of these global hymns and songs have come from Hispanic and African Christians, fewer from Christians in China, Japan, and other parts of Asia. However, there are hardly any hymns from Christians in India, probably because the Indian tonal scale and vocal style are so difficult for Westerners to master.Heart and mind, possessions, Lord, is one hymn from India that has a tune that is easy to learn and teach, and a text and story that illustrate well the meaning of Jesus' call in Mark 8:34-35 and his self-revelation in John 14:6. My first acquaintance with the hymn was in the Pilgrim Hymnal (1958). It was also included in The Mennonite Hymnal (1969) and The Hymnal (Baptist Federation of Canada, 1973). The text and tune are available on hymnary.org.In 1984, my husband, older son, and went to South India to see my father-in-law who was nearing the end of a long life of service to villagers there. On our way home, we stopped to see Professors Joseph and Sarala Barnabas, our Yale Divinity School friends (and our son's godparents) in Ahmednagar, a city east of Mumbai and Pune in the state of Maharashtra. It was in this city that the text of Heart and mind, possessions, Lord was written. Some have attributed the words to Narayan Vaman Tilak (18621919), another Christian convert from this area, but our friends in Ahmednagar assured us that the author of this hymn text was Krishnarao Rathnaji Sangle, born in 1834 in Ahmednagar. Although he was from a well-todo Brahmin family of weavers, Sangle came under the influence of a Catholic teacher in the city school and was baptized on January 1, 1860, despite strong opposition from his parents and older brother. In his personal confession he wrote:I have read almost all the Hindu religious books... only Christ taught me the easiest way of Salvation... Having had the everlasting impression of Christ's life, so gentle, so pure, so true, taught my young wife in the dead of night (so that nobody in the house could hear or listen-father, mother, or brother) the sweet stories of the Life of Christ. She also listened to them with rapt attention. . . . The Hindu religion could not give me peace of mind, because to attain salvation one has to go through so many thousand and one ways. But Christ taught one sure way to heaven and that was through repentance and a clean heart. was concerned for the salvation of my soul. Hence, adhered to the Rock of Ages.Sangle devoted his life to teaching and evangelism and served as headmaster of a school for girls in Ahmednagar. He was fluent in English and Sanskrit and was a poet and musician as well as a fine weaver and gardener. He poured out his love of Christ in almost 1500 verses set to Indian melodies. He wrote, I used to sing my own verses of Christ-His love, his life, his crucifixion, and when people hear those, have actually seen them weeping.Heart and mind, possessions, Lord was one of those hymns. It was first printed in the hymnal published by the Bombay Book and Tract Society for the indigenous churches associated with the Marathi Mission established by the Congregational American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in 1813. (These churches are now part of the Church of North India.) Sangle was also the author of twelve published books and seven others that were never published.Alden Hyde Clark translated Sangle's text into English. Clark was born on June 26, 1878, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After graduating from Amherst College, Union Theological Seminary in New York, and Columbia University, Clark went out to India as a Congregational missionary in 1904. …" @default.
