400 ~ I Come With Joy
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, Our true community of love In Christ's communion bread, In Christ's communion bread.
3
As Christ breaks bread for us to share Each proud division ends. That 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 diff'rent ways, And as His people in the world, We'll live and speak His praise, We'll live and speak His praise.
