Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Birth of Lyrics: 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 descending
comes, our homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of heaven now incarnate
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
streams before him on the way,
as the Light of light descending
from the realms of endless day
comes, that pow’rs of hell may vanish,
as the shadows pass 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!” Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-10 Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: from the Greek "Σιγησάτω πᾶσα σάρξ βροτεία," Liturgy of St. James of Jerusalem (Mediterranean), 5th c.; trans. Gerard Moultrie, Lyra Eucharistica, 2nd ed., 1864, alt.
