At Cana's wedding, long ago, they knew his presence by this sign, a virtue none but Christ could show, to turn their water into wine: and still on us his blessing be as in the days of Galilee. What if the way be far to go and life at times a weary load? Yet may our hearts within us glow as theirs on that Emmaus road: the risen Christ become our guest, with him to walk, in him to rest. O Lord of all our life below, O risen Lord of realms above, eternal joy be theirs to know, united in the bond of love: one in the faith, with one accord, one with each other and the Lord.
