The Woman's Hymn

"You do not need to twist arms once you have had

 a personal encounter with the Christ of Galilee.

Ministry is not then a maybe-it's a must."

-Jill Briscoe

Beauty blooms in Beer Sheva

Israel

Come women, wide proclaim

Life through your Savior slain;

Sing evermore.

Christ, God's effulgence bright,

Christ, Who arose in might,

Christ, Who crowns you with light,

Praise and adore.

Come, clasping children's hands

Sisters from many lands,

Teach to adore.

For the sin sick and worn,

The weak and overborne,

All who in darkness mourn,

Pray, work, yet more.

Work with your courage high,

Sing of the daybreak nigh,

Your love outpour.

Stars shall your brow adorn,

Your heart leap with the morn,

And, by His Love upborne,

Hope and adore.

Then when the garnered field

Shall to our Master yield

A bounteous store,

Christ, hope of all the meek,

Christ, whom all the earth shall seek,

Christ your reward shall speak,

Joy evermore.
