Hymn and Her is the sixth album by American indie rock band Earlimart. It was announced in March by Aaron Espinoza,[4] and was released in the US on July 1, 2008 via Major Domo Records and Shout! Factory, and a day later in Japan, via Youth Records.

Allmusic awarded the album with 4 out of 5 stars, and stated that Hymn and Her "...sounds intimate, as if the bandmates have discovered how to funnel their densely populated songs into warm, mellow washes of sound."[5]
