A Hymn from the Iona Community

Let us stay together for a time
Let us stay together for a while
When the evening is approaching
And the day is almost spent
Let us stay with one another for a time.
All we have in common is a road;
All we have in common is a journey;
We are simply fellow travellers
Who are passing in the night
Let us stay with one another  on the road
For a time.

Dare we trust a stranger with our dreams?
Dare we trust a stranger with our story?
If we cannot hide our tears
Let us share our hopes and fears
As we stay with one another, with our dreams.
All we have to offer is our Word
All we have to offer is a Bible
Let us open it between us
Till the fire burns within us,
As we stay with one another in the Word
For a time.

He was nothing to us but a name.
And we thought our road would never find him.
He was with us all the while
And he`s walking every mile
As we stay with one another in his name.
All we have between us is a loaf;
All we have between us is a table;
As we break the bread together,
We will recognize our brother,
And we`ll stay with one another, breaking bread,
For a time.

Shall we stay forever in this place?
Shall we go back home and tell the others?
If we stay on holy ground
We`ll lose the miracle we`ve found
And we`ll be left with one another in this place.
We don`t need a special place or time;
We don`t have to travel to Emmaus;
Any road and any table
We can meet you, Lord, again;
We can stay with one another any place,
Any time.
