A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: WAR2003 #585 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Joel 2:28-32 Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar,
by Love's divine appointing.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
presiding and anointing.
A prophet-woman broke a jar,
the sneers of scorn defying.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
preparing Christ for dying.
2 A faithful woman left a tomb
by Love's divine commission.
She saw, she heard, she preached the Word,
arising from submission.
A faithful woman left a tomb,
with resurrection gospel.
She saw, she heard, she preached the Word,
apostle to apostles.
3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth,
for centuries were hidden,
unsung, unwritten, and unheard,
derided and forbidden,
the Spirit's breath, the Spirit's fire,
on free and slave descending,
can tumble our dividing walls,
our shame and sadness mending.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
by Love's divine ordaining,
the friends we need, to serve and lead,
their powers and gifts unchaining.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
from women, men and children,
the friends we need, to serve and lead.
Rejoice, and make them welcome! Languages: English Tune Title: MEGERRAN

thy flowing wounds supply,
redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die:
and shall be till I die,
and shall be till I die;
redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.

lies silent in the grave,
then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy power to save:
I'll sing thy power to save,
I'll sing thy power to save;
then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy power to save. Languages: English Tune Title: CLEANSING FOUNTAIN

all life in Christ made new.

but share your love with neighbors too.

until life's work is done.

nevermore shall be the same.

where the world is still in pain.
