Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Discipleship Used With Tune: [A day's work for the Savior]

Author: Sydney Carter Meter: Irregular Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service 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 and 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 when 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 leap up high; I am the life that will never, never die; I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me; I am the Lord of the dance, said he. [Refrain] Used With Tune: LORD OF THE DANCE

O Zion, Haste

Author: Mary A. Thomson Appears in 478 hymnals Topics: Discipleship Refrain First Line: Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace Lyrics: 1 O Zion, haste, your mission high fulfilling, To tell to all the world that God is Light; That He Who made all nations is not willing One soul should perish, lost in shades of night. Chorus: Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, redemption, and release. 2 Behold how many thousands still are lying, Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Saviour's dying, Or of the life He died for them to win. (Chorus) 3 Proclaim to every people, tongue and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is love: Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation, And died on earth that man might live above. (Chorus) 4 Give of your sons to bear the message glorious; Give of your wealth to speed them on their way; Pour out your soul for them in prayer victorious; And all your spending Jesus will repay. (Chorus) Used With Tune: [O Zion, haste]
