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

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.

Spirit of truth, essential God

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Together in Song #426 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ Friend and Companion Lyrics: 1 Spirit of truth, essential God, who did your ancient saints inspire, shed in their hearts your love abroad and touch their hallowed lips with fire, to you that through all ages live our worship without end we give. 2 Still we believe, almighty Lord, whose presence fills both earth and heaven, the meaning of the written word is by your inspiration given; you only do yourself explain, the secret mind of God make plain. 3 Come then, divine Interpreter, the scriptures to our hearts apply; and, taught by you, we God revere and in three persons magnify; in each the triune God adore, who was, and is for evermore. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: SURREY
