Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
Luke 24 v.13-35 parts
********
It was on the Emmaus road
Two disciples, they trode
Jesu drew near, they did not know
It was Him present though
But He to them, He did explain
And made the Scriptures plain
That they of Him did prophesy
And were all true, no lie
Lord, stay with us now, they did plead
And He to them agreed
When they had once Emmaus reached
He had spake to them, preached
At the breaking of bread they knew
Said, Lord, it is e'en you
The Lord arisen from the dead
And now our living Head
He then did vanish from their sight
Though they had inward light
Said, Did not in us our hearts burn
When of Him we did learn
They returned to Jerusalem
And did say unto them
Gathered there, The Lord is risen
The Saviour of all men
