you must mean Ada Habershon! That's great. I will add her. :)
Hi, Thanks for the comment! But I am not getting anything coming up for Ada Hendershon. Do you have a website where her hymns are? Thanks!
You have put up a nice and insightful content here. I appreciate the information you just shared. I compiled a list of the 6 greatest hymnists in history. You can also do well by checking them with the link http://www.christianityupdate.com/blog/christian-hymns/
Thank you for this beautiful site. Blessings forever. Shalom!
This is an amazing list. I had no idea there were so many women contributors. Thanks for your work of love.
I was looking for more information on Ora Rowan and Christina Rosetti. It is encouraging to see so many thoughtful pieces honoring Jesus and sharing His truth by my sisters. Thank you for your work in preparing and maintaining this website. Blessings!
