Comfort, Comfort Now My People

Author: Johannes G. Olearius, 1611-1684; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #264 (1995) Topics: Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Advent Lyrics: 1 "Comfort, comfort now my people; tell of peace!" So says our God. Comfort those who sit in darkness bowed beneath oppression's load. To God's people now proclaim that God's pardon waits for them! Tell them that their war is over; God will reign in peace forever! 2 For the herald’s voice is crying in the desert far and near, calling us to true repentance, since the Kingdom now is here. O, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet him, and the hills bow down to greet him! 3 Straight shall be what long was crooked, and the rougher places plain! Let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign! For the glory of the Lord now on earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that God’s word is never broken.

Come then, O Lord Jesus, from our sins release us; let us here confess you till in heav'n we bless you. Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Languages: English Tune Title: AVE HIERARCHIA

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 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 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 leap 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] Tune Title: [I danced in the morning when the world was begun]
