A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Proverbs 31:25-31 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. 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! Used With Tune: MEGERRAN

Kind Words Can Never Die

Refrain 1: Kind words can never die, never die, never die; Kind words can never die, no, never die. 2 Sweet thoughts can never die, though, like the flow’rs, Their brightest hues may fly in wintry hours; But when the gentle dew gives them their charms anew, With many an added hue they bloom again. Refrain 2: Sweet thoughts can never die, never die, never die; Sweet thoughts can never die, no, never die. 3 Our souls can never die, though in the tomb We all may have to lie, wrapped in its gloom; What though the flesh decay, souls pass in peace away, Live though eternal day, with Christ above. Refrain 3: Our souls can never die, never die, never die; Our souls can never die, no, never die.
