It does not include hymns about other topics which could be implied from the parable (eg discernment) - just ones which relate directly to the story of the journey.
The list is grouped into two sections:
- Free-use (either copyright has expired, or the author has allowed them to be freely used)
- Still subject to copyright and so can only be used if you are covered by a copyright license.
Both children's and adults hymns / songs may be included in each list - because except for the youngest of children, it is is difficult to draw a clear distinction between them.
About the story of the road to Emmaus
The story told in Luke 24:13-35 describes how Cleopas and another disciple were walking towards Emmaus shortly after the resurrections, when when they met a man they did not recognise. As they walked, they spoke with him about about their sadness at recent events. When they reached Emmaus, they persuaded the man to stay and eat with them. At the meal, in the breaking of bread, they recognised him as Jesus.
As well as a variety of theological reflections, this scripture-passage has inspired very many paintings and artworks, and more recently a wide number of hymns and songs.
