Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
Luke 24 v.26-35 parts
**********
Jesus on the Emmaus road
To two disciples showed
His risen self, and did explain
And made the Scriptures plain
Made them plain, saying, Ought Christ not
To have suffered, His lot
To be, and so enter glory?
Which His forever be
He went in to stay with them there
That night and with them share
Bread, and then they did recognise
Him with their opened eyes
Then He did vanish, they did say
Our hearts did burn this day
For He did meet us, to us talk
On our Emmaus walk
Then to Jerusalem again
They returned there and then
Seven and a half miles each way
Fifteen miles walked that day
They said, The Lord is risen, true
We saw Him, did Him view
We knew Him in breaking of bread
By Him we ever fed

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
That's one of the amazing biblical stories isn't it. Why those two chosen strangers one wonders?
Thanks dusk. Yes - one of several resurrection appearances recorded for us. Bit of a long walk there and back too!
