Let all mortal flesh

- 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 heavenly 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 powers 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! ......
