Leaving Her Water Jar Behind

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Leaving her water jar behind, The woman ran from Jacob's well; Her daily chores had fled her mind, For she had wondrous news to tell: Forsaking what had drawn her first. She quenched instead a deeper thirst. 2 "Come, see a man who told me all That I have ever claimed or done! Such wisdom from his lips did fall! Could this be God's Anointed One?" Her neighbors heard, then with her ran To meet this wise and holy man. 3 When Jesus spoke, his words brought life, Like water poured on shriveled seed: His truth as piercing as a knife, His grace yet greater than their need. So they prevailed on him to stay And teach them more another day. 4 By all the wells of our own day, This Jesus waits to meet us still, Where our pretenses fall away When we ask him our lives to fill. Come with your thirsty heart and mind: You too may leave your jar behind. Topics: Christian Initiation / Baptism; Lent III A Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Why Tarry?

Author: Valentine March Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Then when the sun was set they came Lyrics: 1 Then when the sun was set they came And brought the loved ones, blind and lame, To Him who wondrous words had taught, And miracles so mighty wrought, In Galilee, in Galilee. 2 ’Twas not till setting of the sun, No, not till night had just begun— They brought at last the loved ones ill, To supplicate the Master’s skill, On bended knee, on bended knee. 3 ’Twas passing strange so long they’d wait, These suffering and disconsolate. Why tarry all the weary day! Why did the sick ones still delay The Christ to see, the Christ to see? 4 O Great Physician from above, Heal Thou the sin-sick souls we love! But, Master, grant we may not bide So long a time—till eventide— To ask of Thee, to ask of Thee.

He woos thee yet more tenderly, "Give me thy heart," without delay. 4 Give God thy heart, be His alone; Love, work and watch and strive and pray That when His will in thee is done, That heart already His, shall say—" "Take Thou Thine own," "Take Thou Thine own.
