Let me know what you think... and, would you want to listen to the "real" thing?

"Let All mortal Flesh Keep Silence"
Let all mortal flesh keep silence
And with fear and trembling stand
Ponder nothing worldly minded
For with blessing in His hand
Christ our God to Earth descended
Our full homage to demand
King of Kings yet born of Mary
As of all on Earth He stood
Lord of Lords in human nature
In the body and the blood
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heavenly food
At His feet the six-winged Seraph
Cherobim with watchful eye
Veiled their faces to His presence
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
"Hallelujah Ha-llelujah...
Hallelujah, Lord, most High!"

This is my favorite part:
"Let all mortal flesh keep silence
And with fear and trembling stand
Ponder nothing worldly minded
For with blessing in His hand"
It summarizes the whole religion in 4 lines, amazing!!!

Never Heard the song but the part where the song was describing about the Angels is like similar to Isaiah 6:
2: Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3: And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

This song touched me more.
"Gil-Galad was an Elven king
Of him the harpers sadly sing
The last whose realm was fair and free
Between the mountains and the sea.
His sword was long his lance was keen
His shining helm afar was seen
The countless stars of heaven's field
Were mirrored in his silver shield.
But long ago he rode away
And where he dweleth none can say
For into darkness fell his star
In Mordor where the shadows are."

It's one of my all time favorites. It captures not only the mystery of the incarnation, but also the mystery of Christ within us.
