Zion, at Thy Shining Gate
Zion, at thy shining gates,
lo, the King of Glory waits!
Haste thy Monarch’s pomp to greet,
strew thy palms before his feet.Christ, for thee their triple light
faith and hope and love united:
this the beacon we display
to proclaim thine Advent day.Come, and give us peace within;
loose us from the bands of sin;
take away the galling weight
laid on us by Satan’s hate.Give us grace thy yoke to wear;
give us strength thy cross to bear;
make us thine in deed and word,
thine in heart and life, O Lord.Kill in us the carnal root,
that the Spirit may bear fruit
plant in us thy lowly mind;
keep us faithful, loving, kind.So, when thou shalt come again,
judge of angels and of men,
we with all thy saints shall sin
alleluias to our King.Text: Benjamin H. Kennedy, 1804-89

Let All Mortal Flesh 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 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.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-winged seraph;
cherubim with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
“Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, Lord Most High!”Text: Liturgy of St. James; trans.: Gerard Moultire, 1864
Tune: French carol melody; Arr.: K. Lee Scott
