¶Lyrics / Text

Let all mortal flesh keep silence And with fear and trembling stand; Ponder nothing earthly-minded, For with blessing in his hand Christ our Lord to earth descendeth Our full homage to demand. 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. Rank on rank the host of heaven Spreads his 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. At his feet the six wing'd seraph; Cherubim with sleepless eye Veil their faces to the presence As with ceaseless voice they cry, Alleluia, alleluia, Alleluia, Lord most high. Amen.
