I come with joy, a child of God

Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Epiphany III Year A; Epiphany III Year B 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.
