Poems (Coolidge)/Emmaus
EMMAUS
Not only on this joyous day But all my life with thee, I'd forward press to Emmaus, Thy hidden meanings see.
Not only rise with thee to-day, Resolved to conquer sin But hourly fight the deadly foes That ever wage within.
Not only now, but ever, Lord, The Bread of Life is mine, And breaking it, I see the Christ As Risen Lord divine.
Not only on this "day of days" But in the valley dim, A Risen Lord shall be my stay If I but lean on Him.
