I Come with Joy to Meet My Lord

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Obedience 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.
