Join in the Dance ================= w&m: Dan Schutte, 1992 [Refrain] Join in the dance of the earth's jubilation! This is the feast of the love of God. Shout from the heights to the ends of creation: Jesus the Savior is risen from the grave! [Verse 1] Wake, O people; sleep no longer; greet the breaking day! Christ, Redeemer, Lamb and Lion, turns the night away! [Refrfain] [Verse 2] All creation, like a mother, labors to give birth. Soon the pain will be forgotten, joy for all the earth! [Refrain] [Verse 3] Now our shame becomes our glory on this holy tree. Now the reign of death is ended; now we are set free! [Refrain] [Verse 4] None on earth, no prince or power, neither death nor life, nothing now can ever part us from the love of Christ! [Refrain] [Verse 5] Love's triumphant day of vict'ry heaven opens wide. On the tree of hope and glory death itself has died! [Refrain] [Verse 6] Christ forever, Lord of ages, Love beyond our dreams: Christ, our hope of heaven's glory, all that yet will be! [Refrain]
