O come and join the dance (Leader)
That all began so long ago (Leader)
When Christ the Lord was born in Bethlehem (All)
Through all the years of darkness (Leader)
Still the dance goes on and on (Leader)
O, take my hand and come and join the song (All)

Rejoice! (Men – Women echo)
Rejoice! (Men – Women echo)
O lift your voice and sing
And open up your heart to welcome Him (All)
Rejoice! (Men – Women echo)
Rejoice! (Men – Women echo)
And welcome now your King
For Christ the Lord was born in Bethlehem (All)

Come shed your heavy load (Leader)
And dance your worries all away (Leader)
For Christ the Lord was born in Bethlehem (All)
He came to break the power of sin (Leader)
And turn your night to day (Leader)
O, take my hand and come and join the song (All)

Let laughter ring and angels sing (Leader)
And joy be all around (Leader)
For Christ the Lord was born in Bethlehem (All)
And if you seek with all your heart (Leader)
He surely can be found (Leader)
O, take my hand and come and join the song (All)
