[Verse 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

[Chorus]
Alleluia, the Christ has come
Alleluia, the Holy One

[Verse 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 heavenly food

[Chorus]
Alleluia, the Christ has come
Alleluia, the Holy One

[Verse 3]
Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spread their vanguard through the sky
Veil their faces to the Presence
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Lord Most High!
[Bridge]
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia

[Chorus]
Alleluia, the Christ has come
Alleluia, the Holy One
