479 ~ Tread Softly
1
Be silent, be silent, A whisper is heard; Be silent, and listen, Oh, treasure each word.
Refrain
Tread softly, tread softly, The Master is here; Tread softly, tread softly, He bids us draw near.
2
Be silent, be silent, For holy this place, This altar that echoes The message of grace.
3
Be silent, be silent, Breathe humbly our prayer; A foretaste of Eden This moment we share.
4
Be silent, be silent, His mercy record; Be silent, be silent, And wait on the Lord.
