We Come From The East and West (Ils Viennent) | Leicester Assembly December 2019

We come from the East and West, We come from the lands afar, To feast with the King, to dine as His guest; How blessed these pilgrims are! Beholding His hallowed face, A glow with light divine; Blest partakers of His grace, As gems in His crown to shine. CHORUS Since Jesus has set me free, I’m happy as heart can be, No longer I bear the burden of care, His yoke is so sweet to me; My soul was as black as night, But darkness has taken flight, Now I shout the victory, For Jesus has set me free. I look on the great white throne, Before it the ransom’d stand; No longer are tears, no sorrow is known, Nor death in that goodly land. My Saviour has gone before, Preparing the way for me; Soon we’ll meet to part no more, Thru time of Eternity. The gates of that holy place, Stand open by night and day; O look to the Lord who “giveth more grace,” Whose love has prepared the way; A home in those mansions fair, His hand hath reserve for all, For the wedding feast prepare, Obeying the gracious call. Oh Jesus is coming soon, Our trials will then be o’er, What if our Lord this moment should come, For those who are free from sin? Then would it bring you joy, Or sorrow and deep despair? When our Lord in glory comes, We’ll meet him up in the air.
