Love Came Down at Christmas

Love Came Down at Christmas
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie, 1829-1885 Appears in 172 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descending,
Our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords in human vesture,
In the body and the blood,
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heav'nly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of Light descending
From the realms of endless day,
That the pow'rs of hell may vanquish
As the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six wing'd seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
"Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia! Lord, most high!"

Lord of the Dance
Author: Sydney Bertram Carter (1915-2004) Meter: Irregular with refrain Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:1 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 Used With Tune: LORD OF THE DANCE
