God who laid the earth's foundation, God who spread the heav'ns above, God who breathes through all creation: God is Love, eternal Love. 2 God is Love; and love enfolds us, All the world in one embrace: With unfailing grasp God hold us, Ev'ry child of ev'ry race.

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 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! Used With Tune: MEGERRAN
