For all the faithful women
Who served in days of old
To you shall thanks be given
To all, their story told
They served with strength and gladness
In tasks your wisdom gave
To you their lives bore witness
Proclaimed your pow'r to save

O God, for saints and servants
Those named and those unknown
In whom through all the ages
Your light of glory shone
We offer glad thanksgiving
And fervent prayer we raise
That, faithful in your service
Our lives may sing your praise

We praise your name for Miriam
Who sang triumphantly
While Pharaoh's vaunted army
Lay drowned beneath the sea
As Israel marched to freedom
Her chains of bondage gone
So may we reach the kingdom
Your mighty arm has won

To Hannah, praying childless
Before the throne of grace
You gave a son and called him
To serve before your face
Grant us her perseverance
Lord, teach us how to pray
And trust in your deliv'rance
When darkness hides our way

For Ruth, who left her homeland
And ventured forth in faith
Who pledged to serve and worship
Naomi's God till death
We praise you, God of Israel
And pray for hearts set free
To bind ourselves to others
In love and loyalty

We honor faithful Mary
Fair maiden, full of grace
She bore the Christ, our brother
Who saved our human race
May we, with her, surrender
Ourselves to your command
And lay upon your altar
Our gifts of heart and hand

We sing of busy Martha
Who toiled with pot and pan
While Mary sat in silence
To hear the word again
Christ, keep our hearts attentive
To truth that you declare
And strengthen us for service
When work becomes our prayer

Recall the outcast woman
With whom our Lord conversed
Christ gave her living water
To quench her deepest thirst
Like hers, our hearts are yearning
Christ offers us his word
Then may our lips be burning
To witness to our Lord

We praise the other Mary
Who came at Easter dawn
And near the tomb did tarry
But found her Lord was gone
As joyfully she saw him
In resurrection light
May we by faith behold him
The day who ends all night

Lord, hear our praise of Dorcas
Who served the sick and poor
Her hands were cups of kindness
Her heart an open door
Send us, O Christ, your Body
Where people cry in pain
And touch them with compassion
To make them whole again

For Eunice and for Lois
We sing our thanks and praise
Young Timothy they nurtured
And led him in your ways
Raise up in ev'ry household
True teachers of your word
Whose lives will bear clear witness
To Christ, our risen Lord

All praise to God the Father!
All praise to Christ the Son!
All praise to God the Spirit
Who binds the church as one!
With saints who went before us
With saints who witness still
We sing glad alleluias
And strive to do your will
