Let All Mortals Keep Silence - from the CANA Consecrations
Description :
The service continues for the consecration of new bishops for the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, including David Anderson and Roger Ames on December 9, 2007. This is from the Eucharist, Let All Mortal Keep Silence
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 descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
King of kinds, 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 heavenly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of Light decendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clear away.
At his feet the six-winged seraph;
cherubim with sleepless eye
veil their faces to the Presence,
as we ceaseless voice they cry,
"Alleluia, Alleluia!
Alleluia, Lord Most High!"
