Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Am                Dm      Am       C                  Dm        E
Let all mortal flesh keep silence, And with fear and trembling stand;
Am               Dm      Am     C                 Dm    E
Ponder nothing earthly minded, For with blessing in His hand,
Am                 Dm    F  C   G    Am         Dm     Em  Am
Christ our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand.

[Verse 2]
Am                 Dm      Am          C        Dm        E
King of kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He stood,
Am                Dm      Am            C        Dm    E
Lord of lords, in human vesture, In the body and the blood;
Am                Dm    F  C   G  Am              Dm  Em    Am
He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food.

[Verse 3]
Am                Dm      Am        C                  Dm     E
Rank on rank the host of heaven, Spreads its vanguard on the way,
Am                Dm      Am      C                  Dm      E
As the Light of light descendeth From the realms of endless day,
Am                 Dm       F  C G  Am      Dm       Em     Am
That the powers of hell may vanish  As the darkness clears away.

[Verse 4]

Am                Dm      Am       C                   Dm   E
At His feet the six wingèd seraph, Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Am               Dm      Am       C                  Dm        E
Veil their faces to the presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Am        Dm      F    C       G           Am    Dm    Em   Am
Alleluia, Al  -  le - lu  -  ia,       Alleluia, Lord Most High!
