LET ALL MORTAL FLESH KEEP SILENCE
Real Key (F)
Guitar: Capo 5
Am G Am Gm F Esus4 E
Let all mortal flesh keep silence, And with fear and trembling stand;
F Am G Am Gm F Esus4 E
Ponder nothing earthly minded, For with blessing in His hand,
A Dm Am G F Dm G Am
Christ our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand.
Am G Am Gm F Esus4 E
King of kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He stood,
F Am G Am Gm F Esus4 E
Lord of lords, in human vesture, In the body and the blood;
A Dm Am G F Dm G Am
He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food.
Am G Am Gm F Esus4 E
Rank on rank the host of heaven Spreads its vanguard on the way,
F Am G Am Gm F Esus4 E
As the Light of light descendeth From the realms of endless day,
A Dm Am G F Dm G Am
That the powers of hell may vanish As the darkness clears away.
Am G Am Gm F Esus4 E
At His feet the six wingèd seraph, Cherubim with sleepless eye,
F Am G Am Gm F Esus4 E
Veil their faces to the presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry:
A Dm Am G F Dm G Am
Alleluia, Al - le - lu - ia, Alleluia, Lord Most High!
