Tune:[Be silent, be silent, a whisper is heard]
Composer:William H. Doane

2. Be silent

1 Be silent, be silent,
a whisper is heard,
be silent, and listen,
O treasure each word!

Refrain:
Tread softly, tread softly,
the Master is here,
tread softly, tread softly,
he bids us draw near.

2 Be silent, be silent,
for holy this place,
this altar that echoes
the message of grace. [Refrain]

3 Be silent, be silent,
breathe humbly our prayer,
a foretaste of Eden
this moment we share. [Refrain]

4 Be silent, be silent,
his mercy record,
be silent, be silent
and wait on the Lord. [Refrain]
