(\'The day of resurrection\')
Luke 24 v.13-36 parts
*********
On the road to Emmaus
Jesus appeared to us
So said two disciples, as they
Did see him on that day
They explained events to Him
In truth, no passing whim
He said, You foolish and slow
Now hearken and this know
You slow of heart to believe
And prophets words receive
Ought not Christ to have suffered
These things, they not deferred
And enter into His glory
And in the scriptures, see
He showed them things of Himself
Treasures of life and wealth
When they arrived, He then stayed
With them, a meal was made
He took bread, broke it, and they
Recognised Him that way
Then He vanished from their sight
Though causing pure delight
They said, Did not our hearts burn
As we did from Him learn?
They returned the same evening
And glad tidings did bring
To those at Jerusalem
Disciples, women, men
Saying, The Lord is risen
Indeed, hope for us then
And Jesus then did appear
Said, Peace to all you here
