Tom: Am
Am Dm Am C Dm E
Let all mortal flesh keep silence, And with fear and trembling stand;
Am Dm Am C Dm E
Ponder nothing earthly minded, For with blessing in His hand,
Am Dm F C G Am Dm Em Am
Christ our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand.
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am C Dm E
King of kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He stood,
Am Dm Am C Dm E
Lord of lords, in human vesture, In the body and the blood;
Am Dm F C G Am Dm Em Am
He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food.
[Verse 3]
Am Dm Am C Dm E
Rank on rank the host of heaven, Spreads its vanguard on the way,
Am Dm Am C Dm E
As the Light of light descendeth From the realms of endless day,
Am Dm F C G Am Dm Em Am
That the powers of hell may vanish As the darkness clears away.
[Instrumental Play Through]
[Verse 4]
Am Dm Am C Dm E
At His feet the six wingèd seraph, Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Am Dm Am C Dm E
Veil their faces to the presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Am Dm F C G Am Dm Em Am
Alleluia, Al - le - lu - ia, Alleluia, Lord Most High!
