"Two Were Bound for Emmaus" is a beautiful hymn based on Luke 24 that tells the story of two disciples who unknowingly met Jesus while on their way to Emmaus. He disappeared from sight after He broke and fed them bread and they said, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
The hymn is also based on Jesus’ final miracle. Told in John 21, it is the second catch of fish in the sea of Tiberius. Some of the apostles including Peter had fished all night but caught nothing. After seeing a man on the shore who told them to cast their nets again, their catch was so huge that their nets were almost bursting. It was then that they knew, it was the Lord.
Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at St. Francis de Sales Parish in Ajax, Ontario Canada. Thanks for listening and God bless! 🙏

Lyrics
Two were bound for Emmaus, disheartened and lost
All their hope for the future had been nailed to a cross
Love unknown then walked beside them, come back from the dead
And they knew he was risen in the breaking of bread
On the Sea of Tiberius, when the night was nearly gone
And their toil seemed so useless, not one fish had they caught
From the shore, the stranger called to them
"Cast your net, friends, once more"
And they filled it to bursting, but the net was not torn
Then they knew it was Jesus and they hastened in to shore
Bread and fish for their breakfast from the hands of their Lord
"O Peter, if you love me you must care for my sheep
If you follow your Shepherd, then a shepherd you'll be"
When the road makes us weary, when our labor seems but loss
When the fire of faith weakens and too high seems the cost
Let the Church turn to its risen Lord who for us bore the cross
And we'll find our hearts burning at the sound of his voice
Two were bound for Emmaus, disheartened and lost
All their hope for the future had been nailed to a cross
Love unknown then walked beside them, come back from the dead
And they knew he was risen in the breaking of bread
