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 de-scend- eth  our full homage to de-mand

King of kins 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 faith--f ul His own self for heavenly food

Rank on rank the hosts of heaven Spreads its vanguard on the way
As the light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day.
That the powers of hell may van---ish    as the darkness clears away

At his feet the six wing-ed seraph  Cherubim with sleepless eye
Veil their faces to his presence as with ceaseless voice they cry
Al-le-lu-ia  Al-le-lu-ia  Al-le-lu-ia   Lord most high
