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.

‘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 wouldn't follow me;
   I danced for the fishermen,
   for James and John;
   they came with me
   and the Dance went on.

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.

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.

1. Jesus Christ — Perfect Love,
   Holy One that knows no fault,
   screen my thoughts, make me clean,
   know the motives of my heart.
   When I see my selfish choice,
   when I glimpse your holiness,
   then I realise again
   Perfect Love has come to cleanse.

2. Jesus Christ — Lord for all,
   plant in me the kingdom seed.
   Search me, Lord, when I’m found
   looking only to my needs.
   When I see the way you lived,
   how you dignified the poor,
   then I realise again
   how I need to know you more.

3. Jesus Christ — Lamb of God,
   Love resolved to take our place.
   Who can write or describe
   all of your self-giving grace?
   When I look at the brutal cross,
   innocence and beauty slain,
   that’s when I realise once more
   you fully understand our pain.

4. Jesus Christ — King of heaven,
   qualified to wear the crown.
   In your face, radiant grace
   draws us closer to your throne.
   When we see your generous heart,
   when we touch the world you love,
   that’s when we realise again;
   Perfect Love is Perfect Hope.

1. The Spirit lives to set us free,
   walk, walk in the light;
   he binds us all in unity,
   walk, walk in the light.

Walk in the light, walk in the light,
walk in the light, walk in the light of the Lord.

2. Jesus promised life to all,
   walk, walk in the light;
   the dead were wakened by his call,
   walk, walk in the light.

3. He died in pain on Calvary,
   walk, walk in the light;
   to save the lost like you and me,
   walk, walk in the light.

4. We know his death was not the end,
   walk, walk in the light;
   he gave his Spirit to be our friend,
   walk, walk in the light.

5. By Jesus' love our wounds are healed,
   walk, walk in the light;
   the Father's kindness is revealed,
   walk, walk in the light.

6. The Spirit lives in you and me,
   walk, walk in the light;
   his light will shine for all to see,
   walk, walk in the light.

1. Speak, O Lord, as we come to you
   to receive the food of your holy word.
   Take your truth, plant it deep in us;
   shape and fashion us in your likeness,
   that the light of Christ might be seen today
   in our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
   Speak, O Lord, and fulfil in us
   all your purposes, for your glory.

2. Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
   holy reverence, true humility.
   Test our thoughts and our attitudes
   in the radiance of your purity.
   Cause our faith to rise, cause our eyes to see
   your majestic love and authority.
   Words of power that can never fail;
   let their truth prevail over unbelief.

3. Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
   help us grasp the heights of your plans for us.
   Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
   that will echo down through eternity.
   And by grace we’ll stand on your promises,
   and by faith we’ll walk as you walk with us.
   Speak, O Lord, till your Church is built
   and the earth is filled with your glory.

1. Jesus — the name high over all,
   in hell, or earth, or sky!
   Angels revere, and nations fall,
   and devils fear and fly.

2. Jesus — the name to sinners dear,
   the name to sinners given!
   It scatters all their guilty fear,
   it turns their hell to heaven.

3. Jesus — the prisoner's fetters breaks,
   and bruises Satan's head;
   power into strengthless souls it speaks,
   and life into the dead.

4. O that the world might taste and see
   the riches of his grace!
   The arms of love that compass me
   would all the earth embrace.

5. His only righteousness I show,
   his saving grace proclaim;
   'tis all my business here below
   to cry: ‘Behold the Lamb!'

6. Happy if with my latest breath
   I might but gasp his name;
   preach him to all, and cry in death:
   ‘Behold, behold the Lamb!'

Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

1. There is a Redeemer,
   Jesus, God's own Son,
   precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
   Holy One.

Thank you, O my Father,
for giving us your Son,
and leaving your Spirit
till the work on earth is done.

2. Jesus my Redeemer,
   name above all names,
   precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
   O for sinners slain.

3. When I stand in glory
   I will see his face,
   and there I'll serve my King for ever
   in that holy place.

1. Bright the vision that delighted
   once the sight of Judah's seer;
   sweet the countless tongues united
   to entrance the prophet's ear.

2. Round the Lord in glory seated
   cherubim and seraphim
   filled his temple, and repeated
   each to each the alternate hymn:

3. 'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
   earth is with its fullness stored;
   unto thee be glory given,
   holy, holy, holy, Lord.'

4. Heaven is still with glory ringing,
   earth takes up the angels' cry,
   'Holy, holy, holy,' singing,
   'Lord of hosts, the Lord most high.'

5. With his seraph train before him,
   with his holy church below,
   thus unite we to adore him,
   bid we thus our anthem flow:

6. 'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
   earth is with its fullness stored;
   unto thee be glory given,
   holy, holy, holy, Lord.'

1. God, whose almighty word
   chaos and darkness heard,
   and took their flight,
   hear us, we humbly pray,
   and where the gospel day
   sheds not its glorious ray,
   let there be light!

2. Christ, you have come to bring
   on your redeeming wing
   healing and sight,
   health to the sick in mind,
   sight to the inly blind,
   O to all humankind
   let there be light!

3. Spirit of truth and love,
   life-giving, holy Dove,
   speed forth your flight;
   move on the waters’ face,
   bearing the lamp of grace,
   and in earth's darkest place
   let there be light!

4. Blessèd and holy Three,
   glorious Trinity,
   Wisdom, Love, Might,
   boundless as ocean's tide
   rolling in fullest pride,
   through the world far and wide
   let there be light!

1. Come down, O Love divine,
   seek thou this soul of mine,
   and visit it with thine own ardour glowing;
   O Comforter, draw near,
   within my heart appear,
   and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.

2. O let it freely burn,
   till earthly passions turn
   to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;
   and let thy glorious light
   shine ever on my sight,
   and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

3. Let holy charity
   mine outward vesture be,
   and lowliness become mine inner clothing;
   true lowliness of heart,
   which takes the humbler part,
   and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.

4. And so the yearning strong,
   with which the soul will long,
   shall far outpass the power of human telling;
   for none can guess its grace,
   till he become the place
   wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

1. Holy Spirit, gift bestower,
   breathe into our hearts today.
   Flowing water, dove that hovers,
   Holy Spirit, guide our way.
   Love inspirer, joy releaser,
   Spirit, take our fears away.
   Reconciler, peace restorer,
   move among us while we pray.

2. Holy Spirit, Christ proclaimer,
   wisdom bringer, light our way.
   Fire that dances, wind that whispers,
   Holy Spirit, come today.
   Ease disturber, comfort bearer,
   move among us while we pray.
   Truth revealer, faith confirmer,
   rest within our hearts today.

1. O breath of life, come sweeping through us,
   revive thy Church with life and power;
   O breath of life, come, cleanse, renew us,
   and fit thy Church to meet this hour.

2. O wind of God, come, bend us, break us,
   till humbly we confess our need;
   then in thy tenderness remake us,
   revive, restore; for this we plead.

3. O breath of love, come, breathe within us,
   renewing thought and will and heart;
   come, love of Christ, afresh to win us,
   revive thy Church in every part.

4. Revive us, Lord; is zeal abating
   while harvest fields are vast and white?
   Revive us, Lord, the world is waiting -
   equip thy Church to spread the light.

1. Jesus calls us here to meet him
   as, through word and song and prayer,
   we affirm God's promised presence
   where his people live and care.
   Praise the God who keeps his promise;
   praise the Son who calls us friends;
   praise the Spirit who, among us,
   to our hopes and fears attends.

2. Jesus calls us to confess him
   Word of life and Lord of all,
   sharer of our flesh and frailness,
   saving all who fail or fall.
   Tell his holy human story;
   tell his tales that all may hear;
   tell the world that Christ in glory
   came to earth to meet us here.

3. Jesus calls us to each other,
   vastly different though we are;
   creed and colour, class and gender
   neither limit nor debar.
   Join the hand of friend and stranger;
   join the hands of age and youth;
   join the faithful and the doubter
   in their common search for truth.

1. My God, I am thine;
   what a comfort divine,
   what a blessing to know that my Jesus is mine!
   In the heavenly Lamb
   thrice happy I am,
   and my heart it doth dance at the sound of his name.

2. True pleasures abound
   in the rapturous sound;
   and whoever hath found it hath paradise found.
   My Jesus to know,
   as rejoicing I go
   to my life everlasting, 'tis heaven below.

3. Yet onward I haste
   to the heavenly feast:
   that, that is the fullness; but this is the taste;
   and this I shall prove,
   till with joy I remove
   to the heaven of heavens in Jesus's love.

 Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

1. Father, hear the prayer we offer:
   not for ease that prayer shall be,
   but for strength that we may ever
   live our lives courageously.

2. Not for ever in green pastures
   do we ask our way to be;
   but the steep and rugged pathway
   may we tread rejoicingly.

3. Not for ever by still waters
   would we idly rest and stay;
   but would strike the living fountains
   from the rocks along our way.

4. Be our strength in hours of weakness,
   in our wanderings be our guide;
   through endeavour, failure, danger,
   Father, be there at our side.

1. We trust the mighty love of God
   that wraps us round,
   that loves us when we're good or bad;
   love so profound
   it still gives hope when death has struck
   and joy is drowned.

2. We trust God's love that once, in Christ
   was crucified.
   As love's uniquely precious child
   was nailed and died,
   God, deeply pierced by human grief,
   stayed at his side.

3. In joy or grief, and deeper far
   than we can tell,
   love finds its way through life and death
   and fathoms hell,
   assuring faith, through pain and loss,
   'All shall be well.'

4. We trust the future, God to you:
   we pray that we
   may grasp our full potential here,
   and faithfully
   go on to find earth's love fulfilled
   eternally.
