Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Verse 1
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.
Amen.
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.
Amen.
Based on a fourth-century Greek liturgical text, this hymn became widely known through Holst's haunting composition.
