A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Calling and Vocation 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! Scripture: John 12:1-8 Used With Tune: CLAUDPHYL

Yet still we find your love in the darkness, changing our anxious thoughts into trust. 3 We carry with us into your presence prisoners of sickness, sadness and fear; grant them to know your peace in their sufferings and new life flowing, for you are near. 4 Grant us, your servants, grace to work with you, that in your loving task we may share mind's understanding, hands skilled for healing, hearts of compassion, join in love's care.
