The lyrics represent the point of view of the prodigal son, the Samaritan woman, and the disciples who encountered Jesus on the road to Emmaus. Solo verses provide opportunities for a few singers. An expanded version for use in conjunction with the Scrutinies features additional verses for the man born blind and the raising of Lazarus (G-9332).
