EMMAUS
Not only on this joyous day
But all my life with thee,
I'd forward press to Emmaus,
Thy hidden meanings see.
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.
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.
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.
But in the valley dim,
A Risen Lord shall be my stay
If I but lean on Him.
