Almighty Father,
who in your great mercy gladdened the disciples with the sight of the risen Lord:
give us such knowledge of his presence with us, that we may be strengthened and sustained by his risen life and serve you continually in righteousness and truth;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
First Reading – Acts 2.14a,36-41
On the day of Pentecost, Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd, ‘Let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God
has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.’
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what should we do?’ Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be
4
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be
forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God
calls to him.’ And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.’ So those who welcomed his message
were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added to their number.
Second Reading – 1.Peter 1.17-23
If you invoke as Father the one who judges all people impartially according to their deeds, live in reverent fear during the time of your exile. You know that you were
ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb
without defect or blemish. He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake. Through him you have come to
trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God.
Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you
have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and
enduring word of God.
Gradual Hymn*
1. The strife is o'er, the battle done; now is the Victor’s triumph won; O let the song of praise be sung:
Alleluia!
2. Death’s mightiest powers have done
their worst, and Jesus hath his foes dispersed; let shout of praise and joy outburst:
Alleluia!
3. On the third morn he rose again glorious in majesty to reign; O let us swell the joyful strain:
Alleluia!
4. Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee
from death's dread sting thy servants free, that we may live, and sing to thee Alleluia!
Words: Finita iam sunt praelia (Latin, prob 17th cent, tr Francis Pott (1832-1909) Music: Victory, adapted from the Gloria Patri of Magnificat Tertii Toni, Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594),
with Alleluia by William Henry Monk (1823-1889) (Ancient & Modern – 217)
Gospel – Luke 24.13-35
On that same day, two of the disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had
5
happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with
them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, ‘What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?’ They stood still, looking sad. Then
one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, ‘Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?’ Jesus
asked them, ‘What things?’ They replied, ‘The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief
priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group
astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who
said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see Jesus.’ Then he said to them, ‘Oh, how
foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his
glory?’ Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.
As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were
going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, ‘Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.’ So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the
table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Jesus; and he vanished from their sight. They said
to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?’ That same hour they got up and
returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, ‘The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!’
Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
Offertory Hymn*
1. Ye choirs of new Jerusalem, your sweetest notes employ,
the Paschal victory to hymn in strains of holy joy.
2. How Judah's Lion burst his chains,
and crushed the serpent's head; and brought with him, from death's
domains the long-imprisoned dead.
3. From hell's devouring jaws the prey alone our leader bore;
his ransomed hosts pursue their way where he has gone before.
4. Triumphant in his glory now
his sceptre ruleth all; earth, heaven and hell before him bow
and at his footstool fall.
6
5. While joyful thus his praise we sing,
his mercy we implore, into his palace bright to bring
and keep us evermore.
6. All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son, all glory, Holy Ghost to thee,
while endless ages run. Alleluia! Amen.

Communion Anthem
Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; here faith would touch and handle things unseen; here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lean.
Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
I have no help but thine; nor do I need another arm save thine to lean upon; it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; my strength is in thy might, thy might alone.
Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness; mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood; here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace; thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord my God!
Words: Horatius N Bonar (1808-1889) Music: Geoffrey Hanson
Communion Hymn*
Broken for me, broken for you, the body of Jesus, broken for you.
1. He offered his body, he poured out his soul,
Jesus was broken, that we might be whole:
2. Come to my table and with me dine, eat of my bread and drink of my wine:
