I Come with Joy

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Appears in 74 hymnals First Line: I come with joy to meet my Lord 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, 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, 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, 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, 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, We'll live and speak His praise.
