Since 1962, The Dubliners have been enthralling audiences worldwide with their music and song. The strength and attractiveness of The Dubliners has always been in the personalities of the musicians who have made up this boisterous band of balladeers, from original members, Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna, Luke Kelly, Ciarán Bourke, John Sheahan and Bob Lynch to the arrival at different stages of Jim McCann, Seán Cannon, Eamonn Campbell and finally the peerless Paddy Reilly.
Produced By: David Donaghy
Sound Engineer: Brian Nartey
Banger!
Certainly is. I remember singing this in school
I have to say, this is the only video my 3 month old will settle down instantly too 😅
My grandfather used to sing this one all the time. It reminds me of him. Makes me happy and miss him all at once!
same here
One day sing this song for your grandchildren ☘️💚
The only version of this song that counts, it will be played at my funeral
Fair play mate a good call!
It was played at my step dad's recent funeral. Was he and Mum's exit song from the church at their 1983 wedding!
Infectious, really! :)
What funeral😅
I sang this in school as a boy. Brings a tear to my eye.
Do you sing it still?
Same
Me too
I sung this song as a boy in Primary School. Never forgot the chorus. Not Christian myself but I do love this song. Great Rendition 👌
Maybe you should think about becoming a Christian. John 3:16
@@dickreed3700 🤣🤣🤣
To be fair, it’s not even really a Christian song. The author wrote it about of trig the incarnations of Shiva, a Hindu god. The author was surprised that Christian churches started playing it. He said “I thought people would find it heretical”
@@deathstar2294 Can you tell me more? I know it's based on Copeland's 'Appalachian Spring' but the lyrics seem to directly refer to Christ. I grew up Catholic so IDK.
@Bonechip no it’s not. Sure if you take the lyrics at face value. But why don’t you go read what the writer of the song said
This was my brothers favorite song...my brother has gone to our Lord...he died on a Friday..God bless you my brother..gone, but never forgotten 🙏🤍✨️
Felt so good, brought some tears up
If something is gonna make me a believer it will be this song.
I’m half Australian and still feel the need to jig to this hymn 🍀😎
About 15 years ago, I was in a Christian university, working towards a degree in theology. In one my courses, Spiritual Formation, my Professor introduced us to this song. It was a favorite of his.
And ever since, it has been a favorite of mine as well. I love how well this song communicates the free & whimsical side of Jesus. Too often we paint pictures of Christ in a somber, broken, or dying portrait.
My favorite artwork of Christ is of Him laughing, the work was done in 1973 by Willis Wheatley. Just as that art so beautifully conveyed the joyful side of Christ, I believe this song does as well- just via a different medium.
If the joy of the Lord is our strength, we really ought to allow ourselves more time to experience His joy.
When they play this song at Mass it’s amazing!
Just anice traditional folk song, with so much meaning!
I've always enjoyed listening to the Dubliners. They represented their country so very well.
Best wishes to Ireland from Hamburg/Germany
Why haven't I found this gem before?!?! What a great song!
Aye, it is, and this me favourite version of this song.
Obviously not a United fan
Yall haven't seen Communion?
Happy St Patrick's Day 2021....I been listening to this song from this morning.
Happy St Patrick's Day 2022 .... I have been listening to the Dubliners the whole morning too.
2023 now! 😂🎉
Happy st patricks day 2024
Luv this bloody song. tune in
For you Ro, know how much you loved this song. Eternal peace my love!!
Awesome Greetings from Cardiff
Many many many years ago this was the 1st song I learned to play on the recorder.
Had the great privilege to see the Dubliners at Media City in Salford around 2012 picking up a lifetime achievement award at BBC Radio 2's folk awards. Truly deserved.
One of my favorites for Easter!
Absolutely brilliant!! Bravo 🙌
my grandparents sung to me on a tape for my birthday great song
What a wonderful tune! This makes me so joyful! I gladly Dance with Jesus. God bless the Dubliners for making a wonderful song from the scriptures. ❤❤❤🎉
A genuine diamond...
Brings back great memories of singing this in our youth group at St Peter's Wynnum
I first heard this song at a very low point in my life. 😢😢😢
Primary school?
I hope things are going well for you, friend
Watching Communion?
Manhy
Beautiful fast moving Hymn; sung and played perfectly.
Makes me smile…thank you. 😊
Jesus is love remember this allways even when times are dark Jesus has his arms around you love to you all ❤
Thank you, The Dubliners. The most of you are now dancing and singing in heaven (Valhall). But, dance, dance wherever you may be, I will always be a big fan of you.
And when they find a hill high enough to hang me, i will follow you. Dance, dance wherever you will be..................
I LOVE this! Especially the fiddle.
I just put a crack in my beautiful face from such a broad happy smile!
Vibing to this,all bless them

Brilliant. We always sang this in school. Those were the days
I love this song love it love it Amen
oh how i love this song!!,Thanks a miljion😉🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
We used to sing this song when I was in catholic school. I didn’t really like it then but I love it now. It’s also the only hymn I remember from school 😂
They make it so boring in church! its played so slow! Even then it was always my favorite Hymnal
Thats what everybody means when he talks about passion pure passion! No words can discrible but its just incridible
You couldn’t possibly discrible, it’s just purely incridibly incridible
I got morris and maypole vibes with this,brings back good memories and safer times...
I love The Lord of dance'
Fantastic! 😊💟
Happy Easter 🙏
Love it!!
Thank you!!
A week later....still listening too this song....my little girl loves it!!
Probably the only song which captures the Christ I read of in the gospels .
Haughty as well as modest, proud and humble, defiant and pious.
Full of love and invitation. You hear very little of this from mainstream Christianity. This song is true to the gospels.
I can't remember a single verse in which Jesus threw some shapes on a dirt dance floor...
I danced in the morning
When the world was begun,
And I danced in the moon
And the stars and the sun,
And I came down from heaven
And I danced on the earth,
At Bethlehem
I had my birth.
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he
I danced for the scribe
And the pharisee,
But they would not dance
And they wouldn't follow me.
I danced for the fishermen,
For James and John
They came with me
And the Dance went on.
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he
I danced on the Sabbath
And I cured the lame;
The holy people
Said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped
And they hung me on high,
And they left me there
On a Cross to die.
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he
I danced on a Friday
When the sky turned black
It's hard to dance
With the devil on your back.
They buried my body
And they thought I'd gone,
But I am the Dance,
And I still go on.
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he
They cut me down
And I leapt up high;
I am the life
That'll never, never die;
I'll live in you
If you'll live in me -
I am the Lord
Of the Dance, said he.
is it not "dance, dance wherever you may be" ?
Amen Baruch Haba Hashem Adonai👑🔥🕊
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Vielen Dank für den Liedtext ...auf deutsch.
Ein cooler song !
There is only one modern version of this song an this is it. It will be played at my funera! If I have a say
God Bless 🙏🏻✝️💖
Great singer ,,,no doubt still doing it where he is now
I literally did a entire Camino listening to this! Got into Santiago thinking I was the Lord of the walk!
Might I ask what a Camino is? It sounds cool
Well done that’s one tough walk 👍👍
@@cg9616 I'm back on it now my friend. I'm the only one on it!
@@thetato1273 The Camino de Santiago
@@thetato1273my guess is it's a pilgrimage(walk) from Camino to Santiago
Love it
I miss primary
One of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite groups. I play it each year on Easter Sunday 😊 My only gripe is that, traditionally, the third verse should be sung slowly, and speed back up at “…but I am the Dance and the dance goes on!”
Yo this has always slapped so much ever since I was a child is it just me who has thinks the has been a banger slap from you first heard this
Just Love it !!!
Classic stuff!
Fantastic! from Japanese christian
i finally found this song.
Happy Easter 2021! ✝️
Jesus is the best❤
Amen 🙏

This is sort of an intertesting cultural fusion: An Irish musician performing lyrics by an English writer to the tune of a traditional American shaker hymn.
Shakers originally came from england so it's most entirely English with an Irish man performing.
is very deep never undestand it till today
i love it
Glad you loved it! Thanks for watching!
I was introduced to this song in 1972 by the vicar of my school for the first time i actually enjoyed a church service
I also became an agnostic the same day as I realised that humans make beautiful music and there can be no higher being to allow the mess we've made of this world 😢
That's crazy!!! Do you still have that Vicars contact info?!? I really want to see if he's still in possession of the time machine...
(This song was released in 1975). 😅
@Zackaria_sMax he had paper copies and he was friends with a lot of people in the music industry, besides just because it wasn't released until 75 doesn't mean it wasn't doing the rounds of musicians before that, also we were a small boarding school in the middle of Norfolk and a church that was one standing alone in the woods that only us boys used so it wasn't going to get out now was it.
He must have thought it was a good Christian song and got a copy.
Unfortunately he passed away so I was told, he was a character he'd turn up for school either riding one of many Brough motorcycles or a three wheel Morgan and he refused to shave or cut his hair until the church authorities got modern not old fuddy duddies needless to say both were very long
@@duntalkin ok... cause any of that made sense. I'm sure you're old Jesus teacher in a small town in the middle of nowhere happened to have the sheet music and lyrics given to him from some famous musicians 3 years before the song was ever recorded or released... its like in kindergarten, when our teachers used to have us sing Happy by Pharrell, even though it wasn't written yet and the internet had just came out.
Sounds sorta like back when it Luke was with us, since we got Banjo, Violin, AND Mandolin playing at the same time!
Robert Wilson was a famous Scottish tenor from Cambuslang nr Glasgow, he died in 1965 in Ayr Hospital e
I sung this song in Secondary school.
No longer catholic, but this song will always ring happy inside.
Best version. Why is this one not on spotify?
There is a very similar studio recording on their 40 Years album

@@TheDublinersOfficial lovely. Thank you

Christ, not man, is King!
Long live Liberty 🗽.

I used to sing this. Song at the. Reformed. Church. In cleveland. Ohio

I love this song so much. Especially when you know the background that this song is inspired by the Nataraja depiction of Lord Shiva. As someone who practices a mix of Hindu n Christian beliefs this song best describes my religion.

The singer is either a believer or an extremely good actor.
That fellow there is an irish man very patriotic very religious..
Jim McCann is a believer and he is one of the best entertainers Ireland has produced with those other men. None of them can touch Lukey but they are all amazing in their own rights. And just to say again, no, not an act. Very faithful man.
