while the dew is still on the roses,
and the voice I hear falling on my ear
the Son of God discloses.

And he walks with me, and he talks with me,
and he tells me I am his own;
and the joy we share as we tarry there,
none other has ever known.
2. He speaks, and the sound of his voice,
is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
and the melody that he gave to me
within my heart is ringing. (Refrain)
3. I’d stay in the garden with him
though the night around me be falling,
but he bids me go; thru the voice of woe
his voice to me is calling. (Refrain)

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar
Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-18 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.

Christ is risen! Hush in wonder:
all creation is amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding,
see, a spreading tree has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding
bring a taste of love unknown.

from the caverns of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning.
See what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection.
Not a servant, but a friend,
Jesus is our strong companion.
Joy and peace shall never end.
3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven
nevermore shall be the same.
Break the bread of new creation
where the world is still in pain.

"Christ is risen! Get you gone!"

Symbol and gift of order and design.
In light is God's intention clearly stated,
The break of day reveals his loving mind.
2 This is the day of our complete surprising,
Repeat of Easter: Christ has come to life!
Now is the feast of love's revolt and rising
Against the rule of hell and death and grief.
3 We join to praise, with ev'ry race and nation,
The God who with the world his Spirit shares;
Strong wind of change and earth's illumination,
Dispelling static thoughts and darkest fears.
4 This is the day of worship and of vision,
Great birthday of the church in ev'ry land.
Let Christians all confess their sad division
And seek the strength again as one to stand.
5 We pray that this, the day of re-creation,
May hallow all the week this is to come.
Help us, O Lord, to lay a good foundation
For all we do at work, at school, at home.
