Be Silent, Be Silent

Be silent, be silent,

A whisper is heard,

Be silent, and listen,

O treasure each word!

Refrain

Tread softly, tread softly,

The Master is here,

Tread softly, tread softly,

He bids us draw near.

Be silent, be silent,

For holy this place,

This altar that echoes

The message of grace.

Refrain

Be silent, be silent,

Breathe humbly our prayer,

A foretaste of Eden

This moment we share.

Refrain

Be silent, be silent,

His mercy record,

Be silent, be silent

And wait on the Lord.
