They set out on their homeward road
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #263 (1997) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 They set out on their homeward road,
the two disciples lost and sad,
re-living still the episode
when all was lost and life made bad:
an ugly cross had been the end
of Christ the perfect man and friend.
2 A stranger joined them as they walked
that he their company might share;
he listened to them as they talked
of broken hope and great despair,
and then the stranger made reply
that Christ the Lord was bound to die.
3 He spoke of Moses and his days,
of Egypt and the promised land,
recalled the prophets and their ways,
God's leading with a living hand.
At journey's end, to food and rest,
they made him feel a welcome guest.
4 Invited in and honoured most
to take his place at table's head,
the stranger-guest became the host
by saying grace and taking bread.
Then suddenly they knew that Christ
had made their common meal a feast.
5 O Jesus, come again, we pray,
and share with us the things we do.
Be our companion on our way;
let Easter in our homes come true,
and let our life and work proclaim
the power of your living name. Topics: Church Year Easter; Companion / Friend; Feast / Food Scripture: Luke 24:13-35 Languages: English Tune Title: RYBURN
