208   TREAD SOFTLY




[V1]

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

[C]
Tread softly,(here) tread softly,(here)
The Master is here;
Tread softly,(here) tread softly, (here)
He bids us draw near.

[V2]
Be silent, be silent,
For holy this place,
This alter that echoes,
The message of grace.

[C]
Tread softly,(here) tread softly,(here)
The Master is here;
Tread softly,(here) tread softly, (here)
He bids us draw near.

[V3]
Be silent, be silent,
Breath humbly our prayer,
A foretaste of Eden,
This moment we share.

[C]
Tread softly,(here) tread softly,(here)
The Master is here;
Tread softly,(here) tread softly, (here)
He bids us draw near.

[V4]
Be silent, be silent,
His mercy record;
Be silent, be silent,
And wait on the Lord.

[C]
Tread softly,(here) tread softly,(here)
The Master is here;
Tread softly,(here) tread softly, (here)
He bids us draw near.
