Lord of the Dance UMH #261

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 maybe,
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. 

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.

Be Thou My Vision UMH #451

1) Be Thou my vision o Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art;
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping thy presence my light

2) Riches I heed not nor vain empty praise
Thine my inheritance now and always
Thou and thou only first in my heart
Great God of heaven my treasure thou art

3) Light of my soul after victory won
May I reach heaven’s joy O bright heaven’s sun
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my vision o Ruler of all

2) The cross before me, the world behind me
The cross before me, the world behind me
The cross before me, the world behind me
No turning back, no turning back
