Station 5
Glory to you, O Christ:
by your death you have destroyed death
and by your resurrection you have brought life and immortality to light
Jesus appears to the Two on the Road to Emmaus
The ones whose eyes were opened
1 The Highway of heartbreak,
The dirt track of doubt,
The weight of each foot step,
What is this about?
2 We’d followed the master,
Hung on each sweet word
And now its disaster,
“Yet haven’t you heard?”
3 We’re joined by a stranger
Who seemed not to know
Of all that had happened,
How we’d been brought low.
4 With wisdom relating
The stranger foretold,
Of scriptures revealing
Of truths deep rich gold.
5 Our journey now over
Had come to an end.
The stranger made ready
His own way to wend.
6 We pressed him to join us
Our table to share
A morsel of comfort,
Some modest affair.
7 He took bread in blessing,
Our hearts then did stir.
It’s him, our dear Master
Our eyes now unblurred.
8 With that he now left us
Our joy now complete
We couldn’t run faster
Disciples to greet.
Risen Lord, though we have listened to the stories of your resurrection many times - walk with us on our journey and reveal yourself afresh in the fellowship of word and table.
Alleluia. Christ is risen
He is risen indeed. Alleluia
