A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar
Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-18 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.
4 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! Topics: Call and Vocation; Mary Magdalene; Sunday of the Passion; Wisdom Used With Tune: MEGERRAN

A safe stronghold our God is still
Author: Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881); Martin Luther (1483-1546) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: John 20:10-18 Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still,
a trusty shield and weapon;
he'll keep us clear from all the ill
that hath us now o'ertaken.
The ancient prince of hell
hath risen with purpose fell;
strong mail of craft and power
he weareth in this hour;
on earth is not his fellow.
2 With force of arms we nothing can,
full soon were we down-ridden;
but for us fights the proper Man,
whom God himself hath bidden.
Ask ye who is this same?
Christ Jesus is his name,
the Lord Sabaoth's Son;
he, and no other one,
shall conquer in the battle.
3 And were this world all devils o'er,
and watching to devour us,
we lay it not to heart so sore;
they cannot overpower us.
And let the prince of ill
look grim as e'er he will,
he harms us not a whit;
for why? his doom is writ;
a word shall quickly slay him.
4 God's word, for all their craft and force,
one moment will not linger,
but, spite of hell, shall have its course;
'tis written by his finger.
And, though they take our life,
goods, honour, children, wife,
yet is their profit small;
these things shall vanish all:
the city of God remaineth. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Conflict; God Protection of; Victory Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

A Stranger, knocking on a door
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 20:26-29 Lyrics: 1 A Stranger, knocking on a door
that opens only from inside,
our withered spirits can restore
if only we will open wide our hearts,
ourselves, and give the key
to love that longs to set us free.
2 A Shepherd, dying for the sheep,
will gather others to the fold
with love unstinting, side and deep,
and tales of faith as yet untold.
Each lamb, embraced, shall taste and know
safe pasture, sun and room to grow.
3 A Saviour, risen from the dead,
with marks of pain in hands and feet,
in known to us in breaking bread,
and draws us closer when we meet:
majestic love most humbly bends
to raise us up, and make us friends.
4 The Spirit makes an open door
and calls us, gathered here today,
to praise the past that's gone before
then go along our pilgrim way:
with Christ alive, and at our side,
we'll take the future in our stride. Topics: Easter / Eastertide; God in Christ; Holy Spirit; Jesus Christ Shepherd; Journey / Pilgrimage / Pilgrims Used With Tune: CASAD

Triumphant from the tomb!

And loud hosannas sung;
Let gladness dwell in every heart,
And praise on every tongue.

To hail this welcome morn,
Which scatters blessings from its wings
To nations yet unborn. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; The Lord's-Day Morning
