Lord of the Dance 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. Chorus: 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 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. Chorus: 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. Chorus: 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. Chorus: 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. Chorus:

Sung with more vigour than accuracy, it's the first hymn I remember, for its wonderful, clashing rhymes (and I might have missed out some boring lines in the middle): Marching beneath the banner Fighting beneath the cross Trusting in him who saved us Ne’er shall we suffer loss Singing the song of the homeland Loudly our chorus rings We’ll march to the fight In our armour bright At the call of the king of kings

My grandson's favourite.......... Give me oil in my lamp. Give me oil in my lamp, keep it burning, Give me oil in my lamp I pray. Give me oil in my lamp, keep it burning, Keep me burning till the break of day. Sing hosanna, sing hosanna Sing hosanna to the King of Kings Sing hosanna, sing hosanna Sing hosanna to the King. Give me joy in my heart, keep me singing, Give me joy in my heart I pray. Give me joy in my heart, keep me singing, Keep me singing till the break of day. Sing hosanna….. Give me love in my heart, keep me serving, Give me love in my heart I pray. Give me love in my heart, keep me serving, Keep me serving till the break of day. Sing hosanna…..
