I come with joy to meet the Lord

Hymn I come with joy to meet the Lord
Tune St Botolph - Hymn for Maundy Thursday
I come with joy to meet the Lord,
forgiven, loved, and free;
in awe and wonder to recall
his life laid down for me.
I come with Christians far and near
to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread.
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.
And thus with joy we meet our Lord;
his presence, always near,
is in such friendship better known:
we see and praise him here.
Together met, together bound,
we'll go our different ways;
and as his people in the world,
we'll live and speak his praise.

It's a really great hymn to communion.
