O, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet him, and the hills bow down to greet him! 3 Straight shall be what long was crooked, and the rougher places plain! Let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign! For the glory of the Lord now on earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that God’s word is never broken.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Author: Gerard Moultrie Hymnal: Mor1995 #271 (1995) Lyrics: 1 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 descended, our full homage to command. 2 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 heav'nly food. 3 Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, as the Light of light descending from the realms of endless day; that the powers of hell may vanquish as the darkness clears away. 4 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!
