Witnesses to the Risen Christ

Station 8

Glory to you, O Christ:
by your death you have destroyed death

and by your resurrection you have brought life and immortality to light

Jesus appears to the Five Hundred 

The ones who all saw the Risen Lord at once

Five hundred more received the sight

Of Christ, the Risen Lord of light.

The one who taught and healed and blessed

When in their pain they ‘came distressed.

They’d travelled far, they’d heard his claim

Saw miracles they couldn’t explain.

Heard Kingdom come, saw bread of heav’n

 Life eternal, sins forgiven

And so these followers of the way

Have witnessed to this new life day

And in the presence of the king

Their Hallelujahs gladly sing.

Risen Lord, though we enter your kingdom one by one - show us how to celebrate that we belong to one another, to rejoice in the fellowship of believers and to glory in the witness of the saints.

Alleluia. Christ is risen 

He is risen indeed. Alleluia
