I Danced in the Morning

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 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. [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.

Hidden Christ, Alive Forever

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: CoCS2013 #24 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Hidden Christ, alive for ever, Savior, Servant, Friend, and Lord, year by year, unseen, you offer life undying, love outpoured. Day by day, you walk among us, known and honored, yet concealed, freeing, chiding, leading, guiding, till your glory is revealed. 2 Endless orbits by our planet spinning round its speeding star cannot trace creation's secret: why we live and whose we are. Jesus, you alone uncover nature's rhythm, reason, rhyme, so your birthday is our center: hinge of history and time. 3 Still your life and way of living, God-revealing, Spirit-blown, teaching, healing, sins forgiving, measure and inspire our own, loving earth's despised, rejected, till with them you hang in pain, broken, buried, resurrected, life laid down, our life to gain. 4 Who can tell, through earthly eons, all your loving pow'r has done, changing hearts and shaping nations, seeking all, rejecting none? Speeches fail, but songs soar higher, tracing how, in every place, twice ten hundred years have numbered countless works of boundless grace! 5 Christ our hope, alive among us, take our love, our work, our prayer. We will trust and tell your purpose, braving evil and despair, in your name befriending, mending, making peace and setting free, showing, giving, and acclaiming signs of joy and jubilee.

A Man of Ancient Time and Place

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: CoCS2013 #30 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A man of ancient time and place, with foreign speech and foreign face, reveals the glory, pow'r, and grace of costly, unexpected love. 2 A rabbi, schooled in Moses' law, a male, amending Herod's flaw, arouses wonder, rage, and awe with costly, unexpected love. 3 By teasing word and healing deed, a leper touched, an outcast freed, he bears the fruit and plants the seed of costly, unexpected love. 4 The cost we barely can surmise when, lifted up before our eyes, the face of God we recognize in crucified, unfathomed love. 5 May faith and hope within us grow, the way of Christ to tell and show, and may the Spirit breathe and blow in costly, unexpected love.
