I Come with Joy

Author: Brian Wren, b.1936 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ, Christian Life First Line: I come with joy, a child of God Lyrics: 1 I come with joy, a child of God, Forgiven, loved, and free, The life of Jesus to recall, In love 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 The Spirit of the risen Christ, Unseen, but ever near, Is in such friendship better known, Alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound By all that God has done, We'll go with joy, to give the world The love that makes us one.
