Nameless mourners, we will join you, We who also mourn our dead; We have stood by graves unyielding, Eaten death’s bare, bitter bread. 476 Who Are You Who Walk in Sorrow 2 Who is this who joins our journey, Walking with us stride by stride? Unknown Stranger, can You fathom Depths of grief for one who died? Then the wonder! When we told You How our dreams to dust have turned, Then You opened wide the Scriptures Till our hearts within us burned. 476 Who Are You Who Walk in Sorrow 3 Who are You? Our hearts are opened In the breaking of the bread— Christ the victim, now the victor Living, risen from the dead! Great companion on our journey, Still surprise us with Your grace! Make each day a new Emmaus; On our hearts Your image trace! 476 Who Are You Who Walk in Sorrow 4 Who are we who travel with You On our way through life to death? Women, men, the young, the aging, Wakened by the Spirit’s breath! At the font You claim and name us, Born of water and the Word; At the table still You feed us, Host us as our risen Lord! 476 Who Are You Who Walk in Sorrow 5 “Alleluia! Alleluia!” Is the Easter hymn we sing! Take our life, our joy, our worship As the gift of love we bring. You have formed us all one people Called from ev’ry land and race.

Come, see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” 8So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran The Holy Gospel: Matthew 28:1-10 P to tell his disciples. 9And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” P This is the Gospel of the Lord.
