Lord of the Dance
Author: Sydney Bertram Carter (1915-2004) Meter: Irregular with refrain Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:16-17 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 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
when 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
and 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] Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; Dance; Jesus Life and Ministry Used With Tune: LORD OF THE DANCE

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1886 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,711 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:19 Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge--
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: CONVERSE

Sweep across the crystal sea.

One There Is, above All Others
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 687 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:19 Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others,
well deserves the name of Friend;
his is love beyond a brother's,
costly, free, and knows no end.
They who once his kindness prove
find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
could or would have shed his blood?
But our Jesus died to have us
reconciled in him to God.
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a Friend in need.
3 When he lived on earth abased,
"Friend of sinners" was his name;
Now above all glory raised,
he rejoices in the same;
still he calls them brethren, friends,
and to all their wants attends.
4 Could we bear from one another
what he daily bears from us?
Yet this glorious Friend and Brother
loves us though we treat him thus:
though for good we render ill,
he accounts us brethren still.
5 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love,
we, alas! forget too often
what a Friend we have above:
but when home our souls are brought,
we will love you as we ought.

the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live."

We have no other friend like Jesus.
Like Jesus, like Jesus,
We have no other friend like Jesus.
2 Heaven's glory He denied,
Came and for the sinner died;
We have no other friend like Jesus;
Bravely bore Jehovah's wrath,
Pouring out His soul to death;
We have no other friend like Jesus. [Refrain]
3 Do we treat Him as He would?
Do we love Him as we should?
We have no other friend like Jesus;
If we heed His blest commands,
Then we are the Saviour's friends.
We have no other friend like Jesus. [Refrain]
4 Let us on the altar lie,
Let us for the Saviour die,
We have no other friend like Jesus;
Let us not His Spirit grieve,
Let us all our treasures give,
We have no other friend like Jesus. [Refrain]
5 He will make our service sweet,
If we'll bow low at His feet,
We have no other friend like Jesus;
He will keep us one and all,
Nor shall evil us befall,
We have no other friend like Jesus. [Refrain]
6 Do you love Him, oh my friend?
Do you on His arm depend?
We have no other friend like Jesus;
He is worthy of your trust,
Cleave no longer to the dust,
We have no other friend like Jesus. [Refrain]
7 Glory, glory to His name!
Glory to the dying Lamb!
We have no other friend like Jesus;
Saints and angels Him adore,
Sing His praises evermore,
We have no other friend like Jesus. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Used With Tune: JUBILEE TUNE
