When the morning stars together
A Song of Wisdom (Sapientia liberavit): Canticle A (metrical paraphrase)
Author: Patricia B. Clark (b. 1938) Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Wisdom freed a holy people Lyrics: 1 Wisdom freed a holy people,
blameless from oppressors’ sword,
and withstood, with signs and wonders,
rulers dread to serve the Lord.
Giving them reward of labors,
led the saints along her way,
she was blaze of stars in darkness
and a shelter through the day.
2 Through the Red Sea safely brought them,
led along the waters steep,
but their enemies she swallowed,
overwhelmed them in the deep.
For salvation, Lord, the righteous praised
your name with one accord:
song-filled tongues of newborn people uttered
Wisdom’s mighty word. Topics: Service Music Canticles Scripture: Wisdom of Solomon 10:15-21 Used With Tune: BREWER
A Song of Wisdom (Sapientia liberavit): Canticle A (metrical paraphrase)
We have come at Christ's own bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks in upon our darkness;
splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word;
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the law and prophets meet:
Christ, with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
we like Peter find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine,
but true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
that our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless. Topics: Church Year Transfiguration; Courage; Discipleship; Hope; Jesus Christ Word; Jesus Christ Call of; Longing for God and Christ Scripture: Matthew 17:1-12 Used With Tune: BREWER
