Lyrics:

And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went
and he made as though he would have gone farther
But they constrained him, saying “Abide with us:
For it is toward evening, and the day is spent.”
And he went in to tarry with them.
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them,
he took bread and break and gave it to them.
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him;
and he vanished out of their sight.
