Hymn Lyrics

PLEASE NOTE: Not all verses may be sung and words may vary in the particular hymn presentation.

Tread Softly
Words: Frances Jane Crosby
Music: Tread Softly | William Howard Doane
1. Be silent, be silent,
A whisper is heard,
Be silent, and listen,
O treasure each word!

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

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

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.
