Its that time of year and I thought I would share Jessica Cormeau's lovely Interpretation of this tune played beautifully on the Dulcimer
Jessica writes in the video notes:
"The words of the song “Let all Mortal Flesh Keep Silence” are translated from the fourth century “Prayer of the Cherubic Hymn.” They were eventually united with the melody “Picardy” in 1906 by Ralph Vaughan Williams. I hope you enjoy my instrumental interpretation! A blessed Christmas and joyous holidays to you all. :-) (The plants in the background are inside my house taking refuge from the cold!)

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand."
It is a favourite of mine, here I uploaded my own version of this tune 6 years ago, played on a small bagpipe:
