Opening Hymn: As We Walked Home at Close of Day – VU 184
As we walked home at close of day, a stranger joined us on our way.
He heard us speak of one who’d gone, and when we stopped he carried on.
“Why wander further without light? Please stay with us this troubled night.
We’ve shared the truth of how we feel and now would like to share a meal”
We sat to eat our simple spread, then watched the stranger take the bread,
and, as he said the blessing prayer, we knew that someone else was there.
No stranger he, it was our eyes, which failed to see, in stranger’s guise
The Lord who, risen from the dead, met us when ready to be fed.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
As Mary and our sisters said, the Lord is risen from the dead!
