Author: Thomas Aquinas, c. 1227-74; Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Maundy Thursday Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the Saviour’s glory, of his flesh the mystery sing: of the blood all price exceeding shed by our eternal King, destined for the world's redemption from a Virgin's womb to spring. 2 Born for us, and for us given, born to live like us below, he, a man with us abiding, lived the gospel seed to sow; and at last faced death undaunted, his self-giving love to show. 3 On the night of that last supper, seated with his chosen band, first the passover observing he fulfils the law's command, then as food to his disciples gives himself with his own hand. 4 Word made flesh! His word life-giving gives his flesh our food to be, wine as his own blood he offers; then, though senses fail to see, faith alone the true heart wakens to behold the mystery. 5 Therefore we, before him kneeling, this great sacrament revere; ancient forms all have their ending for the newer rite is here; faith its aid to sight is lending: though unseen, the Lord is here. 6 Glory let us give and blessing, to the Father and the Son, honour, might and praise addressing while eternal ages run, and the Spirit's love confessing, who from both with both is one. Scripture: Hebrews 9:19-28 Used With Tune: HOLYWOOD

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Maundy Thursday 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: 1 Kings 17:8-16 Used With Tune: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING
