1. I cannot dance, O Love,
unless you lead me on.
I cannot leap in gladness
unless you lift me up.
From love to love we circle,
beyond all knowledge grow,
for when you lead we follow,
to new worlds you can show.
2. Love is the music around us,
we glide as birds in air,
entwining, soul and body,
your wings hold us with care.
Your Spirit is the harpist
and all your children sing;
her hands the currents around us,
your love the golden strings.
3. O blessed Love, your circling
unites us, God and soul.
From the beginning, your arms
embrace and make us whole.
Hold us in steps of mercy
from which you never part,
that we may know more fully
the dances of your heart.
