Author: Jeffery Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the font we start our journey,
in the Easter faith baptized;
doubts and fears no longer blind us,
by the light of Christ surprised.
Alleluia! alleluia!
Hope held out and realized.
2 At the pulpit we are fashioned
by the Easter tale retold
into witnesses and prophets,
by the power of Christ made bold.
Alleluia! alleluia!
Faith proclaimed, yet still untold.
3 At the altar we are nourished
with the Easter gift of bread;
in our breaking it to pieces
see the love of Christ out-spread.
Alleluia! alleluia!
Life embraced, yet freely shed.
4 At the door we are commissioned,
now the Easter victory's won,
to restore a world divided
to the peace of Christ as one.
Alleluia! alleluia!
