Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #534 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I come with joy to meet my Lord,
forgiven, loved, and free,
in awe and wonder to recall
his life laid down for me.
2 I come with Christians far and near
to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread.
3 As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,
each proud division ends;
the love that made us, makes us one,
and strangers now are friends.
4 And thus with joy we meet our Lord;
his presence, always near,
is in such friendship better known:
we see and praise him here.
5 Together met, together bound,
we'll go our different ways,
and as his people in the world
we'll live and speak his praise.
