1. Let all mortal flesh keep silence,

And with fear and trembling stand,

Ponder nothing earthly minded,

For with blessing in his hand

Christ, our God, to earth descendeth,

Our full homage to demand.

2. King of kings, yet born of Mary,

As of old on earth he stood,

Lord of Lords in human vesture,

In the Body and the Blood

He will give to all the faithful

His own self for heav’nly food.

3. Rank on rank the host of heaven

Spreads its vanguard on the way,

As the Light of light descendeth

From the realms of endless day,

that the pow’rs of hell may vanish

As the darkness clears away.

4. At his feet the six-winged seraph,

Cherubim with sleepless eye,

Veil their faces to the Presence,

As with ceaseless voice they cry,

“Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Lord Most High!”
