Let all mortal flesh keep silent

Let all Mortal Flesh keep Silence: Ps. 96:9; Habakkuk 2:20 Let all Mortal Flesh keep Silence starts the text of the Cherubic hymn, part of the oldest liturgy of the church of Jerusalem by it’s first leader-Bishop; James the Just - who in this is called the “brother of God.”. The approx.time first done could of possibly been close to the writing of Romans or just after 100AD. The hymn symbolically incorporates those present, at this public worship, into the presence of the angels gathered around God's throne. Harmonized to the French folk tune Picardy (1906)                                                                                                                     Harkins 06-10

I Heard the Voice of Jesus
