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 heav'nly 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 pow'rs of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.

At His feet the six-winged seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
"Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Lord Most High!"

  • Hope one day we will sing this song in heaven in the presence of our Lord our father ✝️
  • @CaptainBill22
    This hymn doesn't get the love it deserves, especially the Picardy version. The melancholy tune conceals the unmatched beauty and love our Lord.

    The best rendition of this song I have heard so far . I'm listening 10 times a day.
  • I grew up with this being sung every Sunday as we received communion...It is without a doubt my all-time favorite hymn and this version is the pinnacle.
  • I heard this song during communion on a tape, and I fell in love with it. I was searching for the name and I found you guys. It is absolutely beautiful your voices are touching hearts..the Fathers in the background I truly can feel the Holy Spirit right between you and God bless you❤

    I LOVE THIS. One of my favorite hymns, and people think I’m crazy, crazy. It’s a very humbling hymn that resonates with my being, and here it was executed beautifully. Y’all rock. 👊🏾

    Such a lovely hymn that we sang at mass this morning for Corpus Christi and I was altar serving. We sang it too at Chrism Mass back in Holy Week.
