Holy Presence, Holy Teacher

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Calling and Vocation Lyrics: 1 Holy Presence, Holy Teacher, Light illumining our lives, in the compass of your wisdom all our work and worship thrives: lead us when we sense your calling till we find our chosen field, following your hand’s direction, honoring your truth revealed. 2 By our nurture, by our culture every life is shaped to grow, fed by long tradition’s learning, formed by mentors as we go; tune our ears to hear the gospel questioning accepted thought, ready to respect each other, see the gifts that each has brought. 3 Yours the world of pow’r and beauty, ours the task to tend its needs, day by day in cheerful service growing faith like mustard seeds, striving in unlikely places, standing where indeed we must, acting from compelling conscience, working for what’s fair and just. 4 God, we pray for understanding in our study, in our goals, concepts that will change and challenge, vision to inspire our souls, that this place for mind’s reflection, faith examined, word addressed, be a witness to your teaching, and our faithful search be blessed.

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar

Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Call 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: Joshua 2:1-21 Used With Tune: MEGERRAN
