A prophet-woman broke a jar

Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #588 (1997) Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Ordination / Commissioning Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar by Love’s divine appointing.

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!
