Glory to you, O Christ:
by your death you have destroyed death
by your death you have destroyed death
and by your resurrection you have brought life and immortality to light
Jesus appears to the Seven by the Lake –
The ones who had caught nothing
Risen Lord, though we long to be labourers in your harvest and partners in your mission - reveal to us the strategies of your kingdom and the accents of your love.
Alleluia. Christ is risen
He is risen indeed. Alleluia
1 We fished all night, and nothing caught;
Relentless toil, with nothing brought
Into our boat upon the sea
Not one mere morsel, payment, fee.
2 Then on the distant shore we saw
A mystery, a shape, a lure
Of one who called for us to cast
Our nets and pull to shore and moor.
3 Our rope did strain, our nets did bulge
With gunnels topped we gapped amazed.
Then Peter, with a shout did yell,
It is the Lord, praise him he’s raised.
4 So shoreward bound we made our way
And found a charcoal fire ablaze.
There with the master we partook
And ate a heart felt meal with praise.
5 Lord, at each meal each table spread
May I your living presence know;
And in the joy of being fed
See love and mercy over flow.
