She Loved her Savior

The Gospel of Mark, Chapter 14

Spikenard

In this chapter of the Gospel of Mark we hear the story of an unnamed woman whose love for her Savior is so very precious to her that she annoints his head with expensive oil.

I found the hymn, She Loved Her Savior, in a 19th century Methodist hymnal, and have arranged it for voice and piano with an optional flute obligato suitable for the beginning flutist.

It is an excellent teaching tool for the homeschool family when studying Mark 14. The arrangement is also suitable for recital or youth service, and certainly not only for performance by young people.

I have taken the liberty of using words of today, but have not altered gender language.

She loved her Saviour,

And to Him her costliest present brought;

To crown His head, or grace His name

No gift too rare she thought.

So let the Saviour be adored,

And not the poor despised;

Give to the hungry from your store,

But all, give all to Christ.

Go, clothe the naked, lead the blind,

Give to the weary rest;

For sorrow's children comfort find,

And help for all distressed.

But give to Christ alone your heart,

Your faith, your love supreme,

Then for His sake your gifts impart,

And so give all to God.

King James Version

1After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 2But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. 3And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

4And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? 5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

8She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 9Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
