Lord of the Dance
Author: Sydney Bertram Carter (1915-2004) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #404 (2005) Meter: Irregular with refrain Scripture: Matthew 11:16-17 First Line: I danced in the morning when the world was begun Refrain First Line: Dance, then, wherever you may be Lyrics: 1 I danced in the morning
when the world was begun,
and I danced in the moon
and the stars, and the sun,
and I came down from heaven
and I danced on the earth--
at Bethlehem I had my birth.
Refrain:
Dance, then, wherever you may be:
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
and I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be,
and I’ll lead you all in the Dance, said he.
2 I danced for the scribe
and the Pharisee,
but they would not dance
and they would not follow me.
I danced for the fishermen,
for James and John --
they came with me
and the Dance went on. [Refrain]
3 I danced on the Sabbath
when I cured the lame,
the holy people
said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped
and they hung me high,
and they left me there
on a Cross to die. [Refrain]
4 I danced on a Friday
and the sky turned black --
it’s hard to dance
with the devil on your back.
They buried my body
and they thought I’d gone --
but I am the Dance
and I still go on. [Refrain]
5 They cut me down
and I leapt up high --
I am the life
that’ll never, never die.
I’ll live in you
if you’ll live in me,
I am the Lord
of the Dance, said he. [Refrain] Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; Dance; Jesus Life and Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: LORD OF THE DANCE

Give me the faith
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #584 (1997) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 11:19 First Line: Give me the faith which can remove Lyrics: 1 Give me the faith which can remove
and sink the mountain to a plain;
give me the childlike praying love,
which longs to build thy house again;
thy love, let it my heart o'er-power,
and all my simple soul devour.
2 I would the precious time redeem,
and longer live for this alone,
to spend and to be spent for them
who have not yet my Saviour known;
fully on these my mission prove,
and only breathe, to breathe thy love.
3 My talents, gifts and graces, Lord,
into thy blessed hands receive,
and let me live to preach thy word,
and let me to thy glory live;
my every sacred moment spend
in publishing the sinner's Friend.
4 Enlarge, inflame and fill my heart
with boundless charity divine,
so shall I all my strength exert,
and love them with a zeal like thine,
and lead them to thy open side,
the sheep for whom the Shepherd died. Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases; Evangelism; Faith; Jesus Christ Shepherd; Jesus Christ Friend; Love; Sacraments and Ordinances Ordination / Commissioning; Servant / Service; Stewardship Languages: English Tune Title: COLCHESTER

All You Who Seek a Comfort Sure
Author: Edwad Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #425 (1994) Scripture: Matthew 11:19 Lyrics: 1 All you who seek a comfort sure
In sadness and distress,
Whatever sorrow burdens you,
Whatever griefs oppress:
When Jesus gave himself for us
And died upon the tree,
His heart was pierced for love of us;
He died to set us free.
2 Now hear him as he speaks to us
Those words for ever blest:
"All you who labor, come to me,
And I will give you rest."
O heart adored by saints on high,
And hope of sinners here,
We place our ev'ry trust in you
And lift to you our prayer. Topics: Comfort/Consolation; Healing; Sacraments/Rites Reconciliation; Order of Christian Funerals Funeral Liturgy; Sacred Heart Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
