The Voice of God is Calling

Author: John Haynes Holmes Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Women Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling to women and to men; the voice once heard in Zion, resounds on earth again: whom shall I send to succor my people in their need? Whom shall I send to loosen the bonds of shame and greed? 2 I hear my people crying in slum and mine and mill; no field or mart is silent, no city street is still. I see my people falling in darkness and despair. Whom shall I send to shatter the fetters which they bear? 3 We heed, O God, your summons, and answer: Here are we! Send us upon your errand, let us your servants be. Our strength is dust and ashes, our years a passing hour, But you can use our weakness to magnify your power. 4 From ease and plenty save us; from pride of place absolve; purge us of low desire; lift us to high resolve; take us, and make us holy; teach us your will and way. Speak, and behold! we answer; command, and we obey! Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD

Of Women, and of Women's Hopes We Sing

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Women Lyrics: 1 Of women, and of women's hopes we sing: of sharing in creation's nurturing, of bearing and of birthing new belief, of passion for the promises of life. 2 We praise God whose image is our own, the mystery within our flesh and bone, the woman-spirit moving through all time in prophecy, Magnificat and dream. 3 We labor for the commonwealth of God, and equal as disciples, walk the road, in work and status, asking what is just, for sisters of the family of Christ. 4 Forgiving what is past, we seek the new: a finer justice, and a peace more true, the promise of empowering for our day when men and women roll the stone away.
