Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 5.5.5.5 D Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Lyrics: 1 Woman in the night,
spent from giving birth,
guard our precious light;
peace is on the earth.
Woman in the crowd,
creeping up behind,
touching is allowed:
seek and you will find!
Refrain:
Come and join the song,
women, children, men.
Jesus makes us free to live again!
2 Woman at the well,
question the Messiah;
find your friends and tell:
drink your heart's desire!
Woman at the feast,
let the righteous stare;
come and go in peace;
love him with your hair! [Refrain]
3 Woman in the house,
nurtured to be meek,
leave your second place,
listen, think and speak!
Women on the road,
from your sickness freed,
witness and provide,
joining word and deed: [Refrain]
4 Women on the hill,
stand when men have fled;
Christ needs loving still,
though your hope is dead.
Women in the dawn,
care and spices bring,
earliest to mourn,
earliest to sing! [Refrain] Used With Tune: NEW DISCIPLES
Woman in the Night
