They set out on their homeward road
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #263 (1997) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Companion / Friend Lyrics: 1 They set out on their homeward road,
the two disciples lost and sad,
re-living still the episode
when all was lost and life made bad:
an ugly cross had been the end
of Christ the perfect man and friend.
2 A stranger joined them as they walked
that he their company might share;
he listened to them as they talked
of broken hope and great despair,
and then the stranger made reply
that Christ the Lord was bound to die.
3 He spoke of Moses and his days,
of Egypt and the promised land,
recalled the prophets and their ways,
God's leading with a living hand.
At journey's end, to food and rest,
they made him feel a welcome guest.
4 Invited in and honoured most
to take his place at table's head,
the stranger-guest became the host
by saying grace and taking bread.
Then suddenly they knew that Christ
had made their common meal a feast.
5 O Jesus, come again, we pray,
and share with us the things we do.
Be our companion on our way;
let Easter in our homes come true,
and let our life and work proclaim
the power of your living name. Scripture: Luke 24:13-35 Languages: English Tune Title: RYBURN
They set out on their homeward road
Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna!
Author: Brian Arthur Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Together in Song #394 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Jesus Christ Friend and Companion Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna!
Celebrate this day of days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder:
all creation is amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding,
see, a spreading tree has grown:
healing leaves of grace abounding
bring a taste of love unknown.
2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits
from the caverns of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning.
See what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection,
not a servant, but a friend.
Jesus is our strong companion.
Joy and peace shall never end.
3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven
nevermore shall be the same.
Break the bread of new creation
where the world is still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus:
'Christ is risen! Get you gone!'
God the First and Last is with us.
Sing Hosanna everyone! Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 Languages: English Tune Title: JACKSON NEW
Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna!

my prophet, priest and king,

accept the praise I bring.

Great God, your love has called us here
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #226 (1997) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Companion / Friend Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind,
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free,
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and to offer all that faith can do,
while love is making all things new. Scripture: Galatians 5:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ABINGDON
Great God, your love has called us here
