208. Tread Softly.

Be silent, be silent,
A whisper is heard,
Be silent, and listen,
Oh, treasure each word.

* CHORUS
Tread softly,(here) tread softly,(here)
The Master is here;
Tread softly,(here) tread softly, (here)
He bids us draw near. *

Be silent, be silent,
For holy this place,
This alter that echoes,
The message of grace.

Be silent, be silent,
Breath humbly our prayer,
A foretaste of Eden,
This moment we share.

Be silent, be silent,
His mercy record;
Be silent, be silent,
And wait on the Lord.
