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

All my hope on God is founded

Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. 2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tow'r and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my towe'r. 3 God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore, from his store new-born worlds rise and adore. 4 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:21 Used With Tune: MICHAEL

The Death of Jesus Christ, Our Lord

Author: Olof Olsson; Haquin Spegel Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Maundy Thursday Lyrics: 1 The death of Jesus Christ, our Lord, We celebrate with one accord; It is our comfort in distress, Our heart's sweet joy and happiness. 2 He blotted out with His own blood The judgment that against us stood; He full atonement for us made, And all our debt He fully paid. 3 That this is now and ever true He gives an earnest ever new: In this His holy Supper here We taste His love so sweet, so near. 4 His Word proclaims, and we believe. That in this Supper we receive His very body, as He said, His very blood for sinners shed. 5 A precious food is this indeed,-- It never fails us in our need,-- A heavenly manna for our soul, Until we safely reach our goal. 6 Oh, blest is each believing guest Who in this promise finds his rest, For Jesus will in love abide With those who do in Him confide. 7 The guest that comes with true intent To turn to God and to repent, To live for Christ, to die to sin, Will thus a holier life begin. 8 They who His Word do not believe, This food unworthily receive, Salvation here will never find,-- May we this warning keep in mind! 9 Help us sincerely to believe That we may worthily receive Thy Supper and in Thee find rest. Amen! he who believes is blest. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 26:26-29 Used With Tune: GOTTLOB, ES GEHT NUNMEHR ZU ENDE

Jesus is King! 5 Show me that scene in the garden of bitter pain; and of the cross where my Saviour for me was slain. Sad ones or bright ones, so that they be stories of Jesus, tell them to me.
