Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

from Advent Songs by Holy City Hymns

/

lyrics

Verse1:
Am G
Let all mortal flesh keep silence
F C G
And with fear and trembling stand
Am G
Ponder nothing earthly minded
F C E7
For with blessing in His hand
Am G F E7
Christ our God to earth descendeth
F G Am
Our full homage to demand

Verse2:
Am G
King of kings, yet born of Mary
F C G
As of old on earth He stood
Am G
Lord of lords, in human vesture
F C E7
In the body and the blood
Am G F E7
He will give to all the faithful
F G Am
His own self for heavenly food

Chorus:
F C G Am
Alleluia Lord Most High
F C G
Christ to earth descends
F C E7 Am
Alleluia Lord Most High
F G Am
Christ will come again

Verse3:
Am G
Rank on rank the host of heaven
F C G
Spreads its wings on the way
Am G
As the Light of light descendeth
F C E7
From the realms of endless day
Am G F E7
That the powers of hell may vanish
F G Am
As the darkness clears away

Verse4:
Am G
At His feet the six wingèd seraph
F C G
Cherubim with sleepless eye
Am G
Veil their faces to the presence
F C E7
As with ceaseless voice they cry
Am G F E7
Alleluia, Alleluia
F G Am
Alleluia. Lord most High
