"And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how He was known of them in breaking of bread. And as they thus spake, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.... And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He said unto them, Have ye here any meat?" (Luke 24:33-41).
See the breathless joy that led
The two disciples in that room
From where the Lord had broken bread
And by His words expelled their gloom!
They then returned with joyful speed,
To tell those in Jerusalem
That Christ the Lord was raised indeed,
And that He was made known to them.
And as with joy they reminisced
With those who wondered with surprise
The Lord appeared then in their midst,
And they could not believe their eyes!
He told them, "Peace be unto you",
And showed to them His hands and feet,
They knew at last that it was true,
And fellowship with Him was sweet!
O Lord, it's no less true today
That You are risen from the grave!
The empty tomb is on display:
You live forevermore to save!
