Women of Faith
Music for Women, Submitted Music (2012-present)
When once the heavens opened,
Her heart was touched with fire,
Then truth became her glory
And Zion her desire
She glimpsed the vast eternities
And knew her royal birth;
Then armed with truth and charity,
She fought for heav’n on earth.
Women of faith:
We celebrate their stories of sacrifice and glory
In ev’ry time and place,
A burning fire of faith,
To lead and light our way.
We will carry on their legacy
As women of faith
A woman left her homeland
To heed a prophet’s call’
A woman learned the healing arts
to tend a wounded soul;
A woman planted grains of wheat,
Providing future stay;
A woman taught her children truths,
That live in us today.
Women of faith:
We celebrate their stories of sacrifice and glory
In ev’ry time and place,
A burning fire of faith,
To lead and light our way.
We will carry on their legacy
As women of faith
A sisterhood of purpose
Unites our hearts as one;
We will not fail nor falter
Until the work is done
Each life of sacrifice and grace
Our father works inspire
Until in time we, too, shall add
Our flame unto their fire.
Women of faith:
We celebrate their stories of sacrifice and glory
In ev’ry time and place,
A burning fire of faith,
To lead and light our way.
We will carry on their legacy
As women of faith
We carry on their legacy, As women of faith.
