lyrics

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 descended, 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 hosts 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 his presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry

Alleluia...

about

The Longing Selmer, Tennessee

The Longing is music by John and Yvonne Cullimore.

We seek to bring music that will connect with you both in sound and poetry, melding loops and beats with hammered dulcimer, 12-string guitar and layers of vocals and harmonies.

More importantly is that we enjoy our music, and can use them for worship and prayer. We certainly do hope and pray that you can do the same.
