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

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!
