Huish was born at Blaenavon, Monmouthshire to James W. Huish and Helen Niblet.
His hymns have been widely sung by many choirs in many locations. Huish wrote a total of more than 300 songs, most of which are unpublished. These were "Come Unto Jesus", "Jesus, My Savior True, Guide Maine to Thee" and "Utah, the Star of the West".
In the 1985 English hymnal only the first two of these hymns were retained.
However, the hymn "Come All Ye Sons Of God" (hymn #322) has music by Huish and was in both the 1948 and 1985 hymnals. Other noted works by Huish are the Payson High School song, "The Silver and Green" and the funeral hymn, "Blessed Are the Dead".
Huish"s music remains widely available, both on its own and in medlies.
