He Is Coming Out to Meet Us

When we turn to God and leave our path of sin

When the heart

re­pent­ing

feels the need of Him;

Then our gen­tle lov­ing Fa­ther

Full of par­don­ing grace

Comes to meet us with a kind em­brace.

Coming out to meet us on the way

Coming out to meet us

coming out to meet us

Oh! the joy­ful wel­come—see the Fa­ther now

Coming out to meet us on the way.

He will guide our feet where qui­et wa­ters flow

He will lead us on­ward thro’ the vale be­low;

With His pre­sence and His bless­ing

Cheer us day by day

He will come to meet us on the way.

At the cold

dark stream of Jor­dan when we stand

He will bear us safe­ly to the pro­mised land;

With His lov­ing arm around us

We shall hear Him say

I have come to meet you on the way.
