Come with all joy to sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Easter 2 The Good Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty king, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean-floor to mountain-crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to him who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, he alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear God's voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest. 7 So to the God of earth and heaven, the Father, Spirit, Son, be given praise now, as praise has ever been and ever shall be praise — Amen! Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: FULDA Text Sources: Venite

[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.
