Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day

Appears in 5 hymnals Refrain First Line: Sing, O my love Lyrics: 1 Tomorrow shall be my dancing day: I would my true love did so chance To see the legend of my play, To call my true love to my dance: Refrain: Sing, O my love, O my love, my love, my love; This have I done for my true love. 2 Then was I born of a virgin pure, Of her I took fleshly substance; Thus was I knit to human nature, To call my true love to my dance: [Refrain] 3 In a manger laid and wrapped I was, So very poor, this was my chance, Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass, To call my true love to my dance: [Refrain] 4 Then afterwards baptized I was; The Holy Ghost on me did glance, M Father's voice heard from above, To call my true love to my dance: [Refrain] [Optional] 5 Then down to hell I took my way For my true love's deliverance, And rose again on the third day, Up to my true love and the dance: [Refrain] 6 Then up to heaven I did ascend, Where now I dwell in sure substance On the right hand of God, that man May come unto the general dance: [Refrain] Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: [Tomorrow shall be my dancing day] Text Sources: English traditional
