Reviews

Take with You Words contains 50 original hymn texts, each set to music, by this highly regarded author and Editor for Daily Offices at Magnificat magazine. The title comes from the urging of the prophet Hosea to "take with you words and return to the Lord" (Hosea 14:3).

Writing from the Benedictine Abbey of St. Walburga in Virginia Dale, Colorado, Sister Genevieve offers reflections on each heading and text, with scripture references. The collection includes "Christ in the Rubble," her moving and poetic response to the tragedies of September 11, 2001. This prayerful text, set to the tune of "September Hope," by Tobias Colgan, OSB, has been added to OCP''s Music Issue. The exhaustive index includes scriptural, topical and metric listings.

Title	Listen	MP3
A Just Man Honored from Above
All Heaven’s Fields Were Yours by Right
As Fall the Edges of the Night
As Morning Breaks from Night
At Dawn, the Empty Waters Mock
Before the Rising of the Sun
Before Us Lies Jerusalem
Behold, Before Our Wond'ring Eyes
Beneath the Clouds of Earth’s Dark Night
Beneath the Cross the Mother Kept
Blessed Are You
Bright as the Sun, Fair as the Moon
Broken Cisterns Walled in Stone
Christ in the Rubble
Christ Jesus, Come to Us in Faith
God’s Wisdom Spreads Her Table Well
Healer of the House of Jacob
In Robes Washed White, with Palms Held High
In Splendor ’Round Jerusalem
Let Us Give Thanks for This Good Man
Let Us Raise High Our Songs of Joy
O Christ, You Speak the Names of God
O Dayspring of the Long Sought Day
O God, the Midday Sun Burns Hot
O God, You Flamed on Sinai’s Height
O Heavens, Open from Above
O Lord of Darkness and of Light
O Love of God Incarnate
O Silence Sonorous with Word
O Spirit of the Living Lord
O Tree of Life, by Running Stream
O Word of God, Before the Light
O Word of God, in Flesh You Came
Oh, Who Can Know the Mind of God
Rock Slashed by Spear, O Fountainhead
Rock that Rises in the Desert
Shout Praise, Shout Praise, O Israel
Sing We Now the Glorious Martyrs
Tall Stands the Tree beside the Stream
The Bearers of the Living Word
The Dark Enclosing Tomb of Night
The Desert Sun Burns Sharp and Hot
The Lamb of God Stands on the Height
The Sun Arose in Clouds of Fire
The Voice that Summoned Abraham
The Word Went Fishing by the Sea
Today, O Heav’ns, Acclaim the Morning Star
We Sing the Lamb Who Once Was Slain
Word of God, You Spoke Creation
You Walked beside the Teeming Sea

"Taking Sister Genevieve''s new collection of hymns, I settled into my armchair in the solitude of my library to read. When I arose some time later, I felt as though I had been nestled in the arms of God. Accompanying the hymns are theological reflections, with scripture references which inspired the hymn. Each of these carefully, and prayerfully, constructed devotionals adds a deeper dimension to the hymn text. Ingenious was the editor who designed the format of the book. Celebrating God''s promised future for us, Sister Genevieve joins us on our pilgrimage to the Promised Land, and makes the journey a more meaningful experience for us all."
