April 27 Henry F. Lyte, 1793–1847 But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to tarry with them. (Luke 24:29 KJV) Yes, life is like the Emmaus road, and we tread it not alone For beside us walks the Son of God, to uphold and keep His own. And our hearts within us thrill with joy at His words of love and grace, And the glorious hope that when day is done we shall see His blessed face. —Avis Christiansen The author
