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.
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 heavenly food.
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 powers
of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.
At His feet the six wingèd seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil
their faces to the presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia,
Alleluia
Alleluia, Lord Most High!
