Emmaus Encounter

Tune: Vulpius

(\'Christ is the King, O friends rejoice\')

Luke 24 v.25-32

********

It was on the Emmaus road

Jesus to two disciples showed

Lifted then was their downcast load

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

He said them, O foolish, slow

Of heart to believe prophets so

They spoke of me what they did know

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Ought not Christ to have suffered these

Things with which the Scriptures agree

And enter into His glory?

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

In Moses words and the prophets

He explained to them, no regrets

The Scriptures that speak of Him yet

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

They drew near unto Emmaus

Said to Jesus, Abide with us

They then to sense Him glorious

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

For He did then with them break bread

Blessed it, and as they there were fed

Their eyes were opened, Christ not dead

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia

 

They knew Him, but He did vanish

From their sight, not an idle wish

A resurrection showing this

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Thye said, Did not our hearts burn in

Us, when Jesus did start, begin

Showed Himself from Scriptures therein?

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
