Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence Words: From the Liturgy of St. James, 5th Century; tr. Gerard Moultrie Music: Traditional French Carol Words and Music public domain 178
Let all mortal flesh keep silenceAnd with fear and trembling standPonder nothing earthly minded
For with blessing in His handChrist our God to earth descendethOur full homage to demand
Rank on rank the host of heavenSpreads its vanguard on the wayAs the Light of light descendeth
From the realms of endless dayThat the pow’rs of hell may vanishAs the darkness clears away
At His feet the six-winged seraphCherubim, with sleepless eyeVeil their faces to the Presence
As with ceaseless voice they cryAlleluia! AlleluiaAlleluia! Lord Most High
