@hallen Awww #NearerMyGodToThee one of my most favorite songs in all of #Hymnody. 🙏🙏 And i'm ever fascinated by hymn recordings by those known more for being pop stars.

2/2 We strive to stare the horror of the world straight in the face and do something ridiculous: sing. We believe that there is power in singing sorrow and singing joy-- we are tapping into the eternity in our hearts, and when we sing in community, and the sacred hearts of others too. #Singing #Hymns #Hymnody #Theology #Music

"The courage we borrow, the courage we bring
Shall bind us in strength to the healing we sing
The courage to face any wound that we fear
Shall bind us in beauty and bless every tear"
-Alchemy of Healing, Lyrics by Gilo, Traditional Irish melody, performed by Ronald R Braman

Hi, it's nice to be here! I'm enjoying the emphasis on inclusivity and accessibility, and just the chill vibes. I plan to share hymns and spiritual songs and related writing and resources. #introduction #hymns #hymnody #songwriting #music

"Historically Famous Hymns" from 1901, a fascinating (if melodramatic) collection of backstories on popular hymns. From the "women's songs" section: "It is no wonder that some of the sweetest yet most stirring songs ever sung have been written by woman. She has the right of way in singing songs of the redemption story"
