These are not "hymns" in the traditional sense. Rather they're songs that have spoken to my soul in a spiritual sense -- even if they are not "spiritual songs" per se. Though my bias is that that our hearts hunger for beauty and meaning and when artists create something that sings deep in our souls, well, they've created a "hymn," even if it was unintentional.
Suggestions of songs that have spoken deeply to you are welcome!
I'll also post lyrics and video (when available) here.
Today's hymn is Hem – Seven Angels
Sleep come easy to your bed this night
Seven angels hold you in their light
One holds a candle.
One holds a crown.
One holds the moonlight shining down.
Dream of fortune in the world below -
Seven angels in the afterglow.
One holds the lantern deep in the mine.
One holds the daylight left behind.
One holds the lightning flashing then gone.
One holds the sun waiting 'til dawn.
by Dan Messe & Steve Curtis (from the album "Departure and Farewell")
