Lyrics:

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and stand with fear and trembling,
and lift itself above earthly thought.

For the King of kings and Lord of lords, Christ our God,
cometh forth to be our oblation,
and to be given for Food to the faithful.

Before him come the choirs of angels,
with every principality and power;
the Cherubim with many eyes, and winged Seraphim,
who veil their faces as they shout exultingly the hymn:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Notes: SSAATTBB with Tenor and Bass solos [or subsections].
