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 | Sheet Music |

"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."
-- Michael Morgan, The Hymn
