Text marked as lyrics
Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand; set your minds on things eternal, for with blessing in his hand Christ our Lord to earth descended, came our homage to command. King of kings, yet born of Mary, once upon the earth he stood; Lord of lords we now perceive him in the body and the blood. He has given to all the faithful his own self for heavenly food. Rank on rank the host of heaven stream before him on the way, as the Light of Light, descending from the realms of endless day, comes, the powers of hell to vanquish, clears the gloom of hell away. At his feet the sixwinged seraph, cherubim with sleepless eye veil their faces to his presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry: "Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, Lord Most High!"
