Hymn 479

Tread Softly

Verse 1

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Verse 3

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

Chorus

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

Verse 4

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

Chorus

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