A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16:1-10 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: Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Gift of the Holy Spirit; Jesus Christ Passion and Death; Women Used With Tune: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING

Those dark and fearful days then did reach their end.
God raised him to life, victor in the strife,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.
4 He burst the chains of sin, opened death's dark jail.
God filled him with new life, life that could not fail.
Right before their eyes Jesus did arise,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.
5 Lord, by the pains you bore in your darkest hour,
free us from fear of death, and from all sin's power.
May we with you live, to you ourselves give,

Grave, where is thy vict’ry? Death, where is thy sting?
Jesus flashes light into the darkened valley;
Swell the mighty chorus, men and angels sing. [Refrain]

Let the gospel truth reach every distant plain;
Let the tidings roll that every guilty captive
May be fully free and help to praise His name. [Refrain]

Is forever banished to the shades of night;
And the grave and death have lost their wretched terror
While we live on earth or take our upward flight.[Refrain] Topics: Resurrection Used With Tune: ["He is risen" said the angel to the women] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/He_Arose); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Hymnal of the Church of God, 1953 (70); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (231); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Sele
