I just spent two hours updating the blog and the entire thing disappeared as I was going to press SEND.

So.

Have a sacred Maundy Thursday, if you honor Holy Week. 

I will try again tomorrow, gang.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

1. 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.
2. 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 heav’nly food.
3. 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.
4. At His feet the six-winged seraph,
   Cherubim with sleepless eye,
   Veil their faces to the presence,
   As with ceaseless voice they cry:
   “Alleluia, Alleluia,
   Alleluia, Lord Most High!”
