about

Music: “Picardy,” French carol melody; harmony from The English Hymnal 1906

Themes: God’s eternality, Salvation for all of Creation, Jesus’ power over death

Context: This song was written in light of Colossians 1. God’s salvation is not just for the human race, but for the rest of creation that has been affected by sin. Jesus is both the author of life, and our rescue from a fallen world.

lyrics

Let all mortal flesh keep silent,
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 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 heavenly food.

who can stand before You now?

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 powers of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.

At His feet the six wingèd seraph
Cherubim with sleepless eye
Veil their faces to the presence
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Lord Most High
