Emmaus Encounter

orchidee



Tune: St Fulbert

('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')

Luke 24 v.27-32

********

Two disciples to Emmaus

They went, and then Jesus

Arisen, did to them draw near

And did to them appear

 

But at first they did not Him know

When He to them did show

And drawing near where they would go

The evening did fall so

 

Abide with us they said, and He

Was thus content to be

And as they ate He bread did take

Among them did it break

 

He blessed and broke it, to them gave

Then they knew He did save

He Christ, the one rose from the dead

Gives all the living bread

 

For their eyes then they were opened

As He to them did tend

They knew Him, but then He vanished

Yet moment  was not missed

 

They said there to one another

Agreed, they did concur

That their hearts burned while He there talked

With them and with them walked

 

For the scriptures He did open

To them, and revealed then

That such did speak of Him, the Lord

He Himself too the Word

    That road to Emmaus has a great deal for which to answer.

      Thanks Gold. You been on that road less travelled, as the title of a book says? Maybe not, as it's been less travelled! lol. When those two had seen Jesus, they went back to Jerusalem again. they were then among the other disciples when Jesus appeared again! So they must have seen Him twice in short space of time.
      Did they take the No.7 bus back home? Oh I know, some wag said 'Nope, the No.11 bus'!
