When Mary Poured a Rich Perfume

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 15:11 First Line: When Mary poured a rich perfume ;on Jesus' weary feet Lyrics: When Mary poured a rich perfume on Jesus’ weary feet, Her caring filled that humble room; the fragrance there was sweet. But full of anger, Judas said, “We could have used this more! Why was her gift not sold instead, and given to the poor?” The Lord replied, “Leave her alone! She bought it for this day. This caring love that she has shown is faithful to God’s way. The poor will always be with you, but you will not have me.” He blessed her and he thanked her, too, for giving lavishly. O Christ, what can your people bring to show you thanks and love? You need no fragrant offering; for now you reign above. Since there will never cease to be the poor throughout the land, May we, your church, serve faithfully by offering them our hand. Topics: Jesus Christ Ministry; Justice Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

In the help we give our neighbour, God's will is done. In our worldwide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, in the harvests we are sharing, God's will is done. 3 For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit, thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all that love has found us, thanks be to God.

Onward go the sunbeams, Shining all the day; Looking down upon us, Now they seem to say: Let your smile be cheerful, Ever warm and bright, Make the hearts around you Happy with its light. Marching on together, Thro’ this fleeting world below, Helping one another Onward as we go; Work and be joyful Till the day of life is past; Work and be earnest, Night is coming fast. Refrain: Onward go the sunbeams, Shining all the day; Looking down upon us, Now they seem to say: Let your smile be cheerful, Ever warm and bright, Make the hearts around you Happy with its light. 2. Hearts and hands to Jesus, Gladly we will give, In the path of duty, Walking while we live; Cheering on the sad ones, Lifting those that fall, Shining like the sunbeams, Doing good to all. Marching together, Dropping words and kindly deeds, Close to the Saviour Follow where He leads, Think what a blessing God the Father gave to man; Then do for others All the good we can.

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Deuteronomy 15:11 First Line: God, you give us recreation, rest and play when work is through Lyrics: God, you give us recreation, rest and play when work is through, Game and sport and celebration, times that challenge and renew. In the days we spend together, in the feasts that we prepare, In the times of joy and laughter, may we know your loving care. Yet, O Lord, we see you crying for the ones who know no rest, For your children, hungry, dying, for the homeless and oppressed. May we, as your sons and daughters, share with open heart and hand, Till your justice flows like water to the poor throughout the land. Bless, O Christ, our gifts of caring, for we know without a doubt: Soup and bread are made for sharing, hands are made for reaching out. Even in our times of playing, may we keep the vision clear: Keep us serving, loving, praying, welcoming your kingdom here.
