Suggested Tune God rest ye merry gentlemen (8.6.8.6.8.6. and refrain) [click tune name to play midi]
1. Oh, hear His voice and leap for joy
the coming King is near!
Dance Africa and ululate
come Europe clap and cheer.
Let every body's rhythm flow,
elation fill the air:
Oh welcome the Saviour of all,
King of all Kings;
Oh, dance all the world, leap for joy!
2. Let Asia sway in tune with Grace
while Scots on high do fling;
Matilda pause your waltzing while
loud Outback praises ring!
Let every body celebrate
and every voice now sing:
Oh welcome the Saviour of all,
King of all Kings;
Oh, dance all the world, leap for joy!
3. Let Catholic and Protestant
in Irish jig unite
He is the King of black and brown,
of yellow and of white.
Let every body, every hue
together greet the Light:
Oh, welcome the Saviour of all,
King of all Kings;
Oh, dance all the world, leap for joy!
4. The Shepherd King is gathering
His flock from high and low:
'neath Northern Star and Southern Cross
we see His pastures grow
where dawns arise in Eastern skies
and where the sunsets glow:
For He is the Saviour of all,
King of all Kings;
Oh, dance all the world, leap for joy!
