Tread Softly

Verse 1

Be silent, be silent,

A whisper is heard;

Be silent, and listen,

Oh treasure each word.

Verse 2

Be silent, be silent,

For holy this place,

This altar that echoes

The message of grace.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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