Lyrics 1 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, tread softly, He bids us draw near. 2 Be silent, be silent, For holy this place, This altar that echoes The message of grace. [Refrain] 3 Be silent, be silent, Breathe humbly our prayer, A foretaste of Eden This moment we share. [Refrain] 4 Be silent, be silent, His mercy record, Be silent, be silent And wait on the Lord. [Refrain]
