Tune: Gelobt sei Gott = Praise God
(\'Good Christians all, rejoice and sing!\')
Luke 24 v.25-32
**********
Jesus on the Emmaus road
Explained the scriptures as He trode
With the disciples, clearly showed
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Showed how He, Christ, should suffer so
Then die and resurrection know
And salvation to all bestow
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Thus Christ would enter His glory
He showed to them how it would be
How He fulfilled each prophecy
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
They bid the risen Jesus stay
With them at Emmaus that day
Believing Him the Truth, Life, Way
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
He broke bread as He did before
His death, and they then knew for sure
He is the Lord who lives e\'ermore
Alleluia, Alleluia, alleluia!
Then He did vanish from their sight
Disciples had His inward light
His life dispelling darkness, night
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
