I come with joy to meet my Lord

by Brian A. Wren

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 400.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
