Faith proclaimed, yet still untold. 3 At the altar we are nourished with the Easter gift of bread; in our breaking it to pieces see the love of Christ out-spread. Alleluia! alleluia! Life embraced, yet freely shed. 4 At the door we are commissioned, now the Easter victory's won, to restore a world divided to the peace of Christ as one. Alleluia! alleluia! Easter's work must still be done. Scripture: Acts 10:36-43 Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY
