I Danced in the Morning
Author: Sydney Carter, 1915-2004 Hymnal: RitualSong #809 (1996) Meter: Irregular Topics: Creation 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 wouldn't 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 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 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] Scripture: John 19:36-42 Languages: English Tune Title: LORD OF THE DANCE

God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron, b. 1927 Hymnal: RitualSong #819 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Creation Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens
Infinite in time and place,
Flung the suns in burning radiance
Through the silent fields of space;
We, your children, in your likeness,
Share inventive pow'rs with you;
Great Creator, still creating,
Show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
Stately buildings, row on row;
Yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
Stare on canyoned streets below,
Where the lonely drift unnoticed
In the city's ebb and flow,
Lost to purpose and to meaning,
Scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
Since the childhood of our race;
Known the ecstasy of winging
Through untraveled realms of space;
Probed the secrets of the atom,
Yielding unimagined pow'r,
Facing us with life's destruction
Or our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons,
May it challenge us anew,
Children of creative purpose,
Serving others, honoring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
Each endeavor, well begun:
Great Creator, give us guidance
Till our goals and yours are one. Scripture: Genesis 1 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY MANNA
God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens

et le troupeau qu’il veut nourrir?
3 Entrez dans son temple aujourd’hui;
et présentez-vous devant lui,
et, de concert ave les cieux,
célébrez son nom glorieux.
4 C’est un Dieu rempli de bonté,
d’amour éternelle vérité,
toujours propice à nos souhaits,
et sa grâce dure à jamais.
English:
1 All people that on earth do dwell,
sing out your faith with cheerful voice;
delight in God whose praise you tell,
whose presence calls you to rejoice.
2 Know that there is one God indeed,
who fashions us without our aid,
who claims us, gives us all we need,
whose tender care will never fade.
3 Enter the sacred gates with praise,
with joy approach the temple walls.
Extol and bless our God always
as people whom the Spirit calls.
4 Proclaim again that God is good,
whose mercy is forever sure,
whose truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure. Scripture: Psalm 100 Languages: English; French Tune Title: OLD 100TH

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: RitualSong #823 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Creation Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord;
For a just and equal sharing
Of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love and action
Help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us now, Lord, into freedom,
From despair your world release;
That redeemed from war and hatred,
All may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
Fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
Let it from the earth be banned;
Pride of status, race or schooling,
Dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
May we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, creator God, have written
Your great name on humankind;
For our growing in your likeness
Bring the life of Christ to mind:
That by our response and service
Earth its destiny may find. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS

This Is My Father's World
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock, 1848-1901 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #824 (2006) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Creation Lyrics: 1 This is my Father’s world,
and to my list'ning ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
his hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father’s world;
the birds their carols raise;
the morning light, the lily white,
declare their maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world;
he shines in all that’s fair.
In the rustling grass I hear him pass;
he speaks to me ev'rywhere.
3 This is my Father’s world;
oh, let me not forget
that, though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world;
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is king, let the heaven ring;
God reigns, let the earth be glad! Languages: English Tune Title: TETRA PATRIS
