- 1.
- Tomorrow shall be my dancing day;
- I would my true love did so chance
- To see the legend of my play,
- To call my true love to my dance;
- Refrain:
- Sing, oh! my love, oh! my love, my love, my love,
- This have I done for my true love
- Refrain:
- 2.
- Then was I born of a virgin pure,
- Of her I took fleshly substance
- Thus was I knit to man's nature
- To call my true love to my dance.
- Refrain:
- 3.
- In a manger laid, and wrapped I was
- So very poor, this was my chance
- Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass
- To call my true love to my dance.
- Refrain:
- 4.
- Then afterwards baptized I was;
- The Holy Ghost on me did glance,
- My Father's voice heard from above,
- To call my true love to my dance.
- Refrain:
- 5.
- Into the desert I was led,
- Where I fasted without substance;
- The Devil bade me make stones my bread,
- To have me break my true love's dance.
- Refrain:
- 6.
- The Jews on me they made great suit,
- And with me made great variance,
- Because they loved darkness rather than light,
- To call my true love to my dance.
- Refrain:
- 7.
- For thirty pence Judas me sold,
- His covetousness for to advance:
- Mark whom I kiss, the same do hold!
- The same is he shall lead the dance.
- Refrain:
- 8.
- Before Pilate the Jews me brought,
- Where Barabbas had deliverance;
- They scourged me and set me at nought,
- Judged me to die to lead the dance.
- Refrain:
- 9.
- Then on the cross hanged I was,
- Where a spear my heart did glance;
- There issued forth both water and blood,
- To call my true love to my dance.
- Refrain:
- 10.
- Then down to hell I took my way
- For my true love's deliverance,
- And rose again on the third day,
- Up to my true love and the dance.
- Refrain:
- 11.
- Then up to heaven I did ascend,
- Where now I dwell in sure substance
- On the right hand of God, that man
- May come unto the general dance.
