The Woman's Hymn

from The Lo​-​Fi Hymnal II by Tyler James Cook

/

about

Number 314 in the _Free Will Baptist Hymn Book_, "The Woman's Hymn" is based on the 1769 "Italian Hymn" by composer Felice de Giardini (1716-1796).

Fannie E. S. Heck (1862-1915) set her text to Giardini's famous hymn (one of many hymns to do so). It is a call to women to spread the Gospel.

lyrics

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
