On that dry Emmaus road
heavy hearts still keening.
Once the answers seemed so close,
on the brink of meaning.
Meet us here, Jesus, Lord!
Walk with us, we urge you
Oh, how slow we are to see,
open up your Scriptures.
Jesus, speak to us your truth,
how our hearts are burning!
Keep us on Emmaus' road,
keep us ever learning.
Meet us here, Jesus, Lord!
Walk with us, we urge you.
Oh, how slow we are to see,
open up your Scriptures.
Feed us with your Word, O Lord,
our hearts need it daily.
Feed us with the Bread of Life,
feed us, precious Saviour.
Stay with us, Jesus, Lord!
stay with us, we urge you.
Oh, how slow we are to see,
open up your Scriptures
Now we go to tell the world,
we must share the good news:
It is true! The Saviour lives!
Have you heard the good news?
Go with us, Jesus, Lord!
Strengthen us, we pray you.
Oh, how slow we are to go,
send us with your Gospel.
