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

Refrain
Tread softly, tread softly, The Master is here;
Tread softly here, tread softly here,
Tread softly, tread softly, He bids us draw near.
Tread softly here, tread softly here,

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

Be silent, be silent, Breathe 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.
