479. Tread Softly

A                       E          A
Be silent, be silent, A whisper is heard,
   D           A           E    B7        E A  E7
Be silent, and listen, Oh, trea-sure each word!
E7    A             D           E   E7     A
Tread softly, tread softly, The Mas-ter is here,
      D             A          E    E7      A
Tread softly, tread softly, He bids us draw near.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

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

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

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