Tread Softly

1Be silent, be silent,
A whisper is heard;
Be silent, and listen,
Oh, treasure each word.

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

2Be silent, be silent,
For holy this place,
This altar that echoes The message of grace.

3Be silent, be silent,
Breathe humbly our pray'r;
A foretaste of Eden This moment we share.

4Be silent, be silent,
His mercy record;
Be silent, be silent,
And wait on the Lord.
