Let all mortal flesh keep silence
O my people still your thinking
And with adoration stand
Point your thoughts to things of Heaven
For with blessings in His hand
Christ has come to Earth to meet us.
Our devotion to demand.
Heaven's king was born of Mary
Planting footsteps in our world.
God on High a touchable being
With a human body and blood
He will feed His hungry people
With Himself He'll nurture us.
Ranks of all the angels of Heaven
Spread their wings to line His way
For the light of light is returning
From the realms of endless day.
That all evil, pain and death may die
As the darkness clears away.
At His feet the six winged seraphs,
Angel cherubim from on high,
Bow before His dazzling presence.
As with ceaseless voice they cry
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia God most high.
