Description
Holy Trinity Lord of the Dance
"Lord of the Dance" is a hymn with words written by English songwriter Sydney Carter in 1963.[1] He borrowed the tune from the American Shaker song "Simple Gifts". The hymn is widely performed in English-speaking congregations and assemblies. I have always loved this song and would love to express it as I grew up hearing of it almost like a ritual dance.
Perhaps the most famous of these “alternative” rituals is the dance of Jesus and the apostles as portrayed in the Acts of John, a vivid and imaginative second-century description of the apostle’s missionary journey. In one section, the apostle John recalls how, on the night before his arrest and crucifixion, Jesus commanded the apostles to form a circle around him, and to dance as he sang a hymn to which they responded in a series of “Amens.”
