A Eunuch, Trusted by my Queen
Click Image for Details
Words By
Daniel Charles Damon
Stephanie Budwey invited me to share some of my hymns with her class at Vanderbilt University. After I had presented some of my work, Stephanie asked her class, “What new hymns need to be written?” We had talked about going beyond binary language in our hymnody. A student, Shannon White, called from the back row, “Write a hymn in the voice of the eunuch” (Acts 8:26–40). On my flight home, I wrote a first draft from my memory of the biblical story and using a little imagi-nation. How did the eunuch feel? “What is to prevent me from being baptized?” is the quote that still rings in our ears.

A Mother Faced the Wall and Wept

Words By
Daniel Charles Damon
A Mother Faced the Wall and Wept – I was teaching a course in hymnwriting via Zoom with some folks from Lakeshore Avenue Baptist Church, Oakland, CA. I had shared one of my anti-racist hymns with the class. As we discussed the difficulties of addressing rac-ism in our hymnody, I wondered aloud if I could write in the voice of a grieving black mother. Nancy Hall and Sandra Lee gave me the encouragement I needed.

Bathed in Grace, the Prophet Sank – Reading Gracia Grindal’s hymns on the Jonah story sparked this new text. Jonah received God’s grace at every moment, especially when he was at his worst. The tune, CHIMNEY ROCK, is named for a place on the Pacific Ocean near the lighthouse in Point Reyes National Seashore. Carl Daw helped me polish this text.

Beautiful-Darkness
Click Image for Details
Words By
Daniel Charles Damon
This song celebrates the balance of darkness and light in God’s good creation. We are learning not to equate darkness with evil. It is part of our racist past that shows up in some older Christian hymns. We are learning that skin color does not make us good or bad—it is our choices that are good or bad. Cynthia Wilson recorded this song with me in February 2022. At the time she said, 'I wish there was more.' So I wrote two more verses and made it the title song when I recorded it again with my quartet for the album Beauti-ful Darkness. Take your time and enjoy the darkness and light in the jazz harmonies.

I wrote this response during a sermon by Liz Tichenor, rector at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, Pleasant Hill, CA. She preached on the temptation of Jesus, saying when we suffer we are tempted to believe that God does not love us. After the service I asked parish musician Charles Rus to set the short text to music.

Blessed Are You Who Are Poor

Words By

Stephanie Budway invited me to choose one of my hymns to be sung at St. David’s Episcopal Church, Nashville, Tennessee during their 2022 celebration of All Saints’ Day. I couldn’t find anything suitable in my files, so I wrote a new text and tune for the ser-vice. The tune name ON THE PLAIN comes from the gospel reading for the day (Luke 6:20–31). In Matthew Jesus preaches his sermon on the mount. In Luke it is preached on the plain.
