He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. 39And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the First Reading: Acts 10:34-43 P country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree, 40but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear, 41not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42And he commanded us to preach First Reading: Acts 10:34-43 P to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. 43To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” P This is the Word of the Lord.

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.
