STLT#46, Now the Day Is Over
“I have no response to that.” — Angelica, Joe Versus the Volcano Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh, shadows of the evening steal across the sky.

STLT#15, The Lone, Wild Bird
The lone, wild bird in lofty flight is still with thee, nor leaves thy sight. And I am thine! I rest in thee. Great spirit come and rest in me. The ends of earth are in thy hand, the sea’s dark deep and far-off land. And I am thine! I rest in thee. Great spirit… Continue reading
Support this site
I am an entrepreneurial minister, which means I am a freelancer, and every part of my income comes from the work I do. The Hymn by Hymn Project was and is a labor of love, but I now am incurring increasing costs for hosting the site.
If everyone who visited gave just $5, those costs would be covered in a single week.
Whether you give once or monthly, your generosity will keep Hymn by Hymn free and available to to the tens of thousands of people who benefit from it.
Please support the project!
