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
