"Let All Mortal Flesh" is a Christmas carol dating back to the 4th century Byzantine Church. English lyrics by Gerard Moultrie (1829-1885). Melody our own.

lyrics

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
With blessing in His hand
Christ the Lord to earth descending
Our full homage will demand.

King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth He stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture -
The body and the blood.
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heavenly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
That the pow'rs of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.

At His feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence,
With ceaseless voice they cry,
“Alleluia, Lord most high"
