I danced in the morning when the world was begun

Author: Sydney Carter (b. 1915) Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: God--in Jesus Christ His Life, Death, and Glory 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 on 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 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] Used With Tune: SHAKER TUNE

Hail, Christ the Lord! Your people pray, come quickly, King of kings! Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2:8 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG Text Sources: Ancient Greek hymn
