Dm                         C     
Let all mortal flesh keep silence
Bbmaj7                         Asus
And with fear and trembling stand;
Dm                      C
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
Bb                         Asus
For with blessing in his hand,
Dm                   C2 C   Bb   Asus
Christ our God to Earth de-scend-eth,
Gm7             C2 C    Dm
Our full homage to de-mand.


Dm                       Am/C
King of kins yet born of Mary,
Bb(no3)                   Dm/A
As of old on Earth he stood,
Dm                       Am/C
Lord of Lords in human vesture,
Bb(no3)                Ano3
In the body and the blood;
Dm               C     Bbmaj7 Ano3
He will give to all the faith--ful
Gno3              Cno3      Dm
His own self for heavenly food.


Dm                        Am7/C
Rank on rank the hosts of heaven
Gm7/Bb                       A7sus
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
Dm                       Am7
As the light of light descendeth
Gm7/Bb                       F 
From the realms of endless day,
Dm                  C      Bbmaj7  Asus
That the powers of hell may van---ish
Bbmaj7          C        Dm
As the darkness clears away.


Dm                            C2
At his feet the six wing-ed seraph,
 Bbmaj7                  Asus
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Dm                        Am7/G
Veil their faces to his presence,
Bbmaj7
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Dm           Gm7   Bb  C2
Al-le-lu-ia, Al-le-lu-ia 
Gm7          C          Dm
Al-le-lu-ia, Lord most high!
