Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence is based on the Prayer of the Cherubic Hymn, which is found within the Liturgy of Saint James. The original hymn was used to prepare members of the church for the practice of communion. In those ancient days, communion was taken with extreme sincerity, for the people believed Christ’s body was truly present in the form of bread and wine. [Michael's Note: I am not Catholic and do not believe in transubstantiation, and interpret this hymn text as the body and blood being simply representative of Christ body and blood like most Baptists would.] Spiritual preparation was certainly needed before partaking, and this is where the hymn found its purpose. Prior to the singing of the hymn, the following would be said to give further meaning to it:
“We remember the sky, the earth and the sea, the sun and the moon, the stars and all creation both rational and irrational, the angels and archangels, powers, mights, dominations, principalities, thrones, the many-eyed Cherubim who say those words of David: ‘Praise the Lord with me.’ We remember the Seraphim, whom Isaias saw in spirit standing around the throne of God, who with two wings cover their faces, with two their feet and with two fly; who say: ‘Holy, holy, holy, Lord of Sabaoth.’ We also say these divine words of the Seraphim, so as to take part in the hymns of the heavenly host.”
The Oxford Movement, a period when ancient Christian texts were translated from Greek and Latin to English, is when the hymn was brought into the modern age. Modern times have changed how we view the Christian faith. It is less somber, as people see the religion as a freedom from sorrow. Freedom and joy are certainly important aspects within Christianity, but it is still vital to remember the weight of the burden Christ took on for us. Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence is a tool we can use to remember this, and, like the people of old, put us in the right frame of mind to truly appreciate the freedom we have.

Sung Live at Bethel Baptist Church, where I lead worship.
I’m getting over a cold so this is not my best singing. I had several bad vocal cracks throughout. This is raw and unedited, but a moment we wanted to share. We will plan better next time for better lighting and transitions.

This spiritual has a mournful but hopeful element to it, using the imagery of Judgment day coming, presumably the unsaved white slave-owners weeping for the rocks and mountains, and a shout of victory going up as the faithful are delivered from their earthly bonds to spend freedom in Heaven for eternity.
"Scholars have subjected the origins of African American spirituals to considerable speculation. Traditional hymnology places stress on a particular author or composer as the point of origin. Eileen Southern (1920–2002), a pioneering musicologist in African American music, offers further origin classifications. She examines the background of spirituals in three areas: “the time of origin, the place of origin, and the manner of origin” (Southern, 1972, p. 8). For traditional hymnological scholarship, this is a helpful clarification.
Southern credits A Collection of Spiritual Songs and Hymns Selected from Various Authors (Philadelphia, 1801) by Richard Allen (1760–1831) for the inspiration behind this spiritual. Allen was the first bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the first independent African American denomination. He observed that African Americans in Philadelphia were creating a category of congregational songs beyond those composed by the traditional British hymnodists of the day, especially eighteenth-century hymnwriters John Newton, Isaac Watts, and Charles Wesley. This collection may be the first one to distinguish between hymns and spiritual songs in the African American context (Southern, 1972, p. 12). These “spiritual songs”—later spirituals—often employed call-response forms of performance and incorporated refrains. They found a voice in independent black churches and camp meetings, though never appearing in printed collections.
While many spirituals may have been conceived on plantations in the southern United States, Southern contends that free African Americans also composed them “in the independent black congregations of the North, where black congregations, freed from the supervision of white clergymen, could conduct their religious services as they wished” (Southern, 1972, p. 11). “My Lord, What a Morning” appears to have been one of those composed in the North."

"One of the most prominent carols among any critic, clergy or citizen, these lines are represented in nearly every collection of Baptist or protestant hymns. Its narrative flow is readily understood by the young and unburdensome to the mature saint. The music that awakens the lines was adapted from one of the masters - George Frederick Handel. At the request of various friends and by his own design, he composed specific tunes for various hymns; but Handel's enduring hymn tunes are those adapted from his other labors."

Tempo note: this was sung up-tempo in cut time on purpose, as this song usually drags, and since there are 5 verses, using cut time made it feel a lot more energetic. If it's too fast for you, sorry!
Text note: This version from this hymnal uses slightly different words in a few phrases that what is traditionally sung. I'm not sure the reason for that, but I did not "change the words."

Using reverent and apocalyptic language, "Holy, Holy, Holy!" alludes to Revelation 4:6-11; 5:13; 15:2-4; and Isaiah 6:1-3 to sing the great majesty of the triune God. Note the cosmic scope of the text: human beings (st. 1), saints and angels in glory (st. 2), and all creation (st. 4) praise the name of the Lord! Though God's holiness, love, and purity are cloaked in mystery, we can still experience God's mercy and mighty power, and we can participate in praising God. The text is trinitarian in theme, but not in structure.
Reginald Heber (b. Malpas, Cheshire, England, 1783; d. Trichinopoly, India, 1826) wrote the text for Trinity Sunday, the day for which lectionary in the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer prescribes the reading of Revelation 4. It was first published in the third edition (1826) of A Selection of Psalms and Hymns for the Parish Church of Banbury and was also published posthumously in Heber's Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Church Services of the Year (1827). The unusual single rhyme (all on the "ee" sound) and the uneven number of syllables in some lines have not detracted from the hymn's popularity.
Educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, Heber was ordained in the Church of England in 1807. He first served his family's parish in Hodnet, Shropshire (1807-1823), and in 1823 his dream of being a missionary was fulfilled when he was appointed bishop of Calcutta. He worked and traveled ceaselessly until his sudden death in 1826. Heber began writing hymns partly because of his dissatisfaction with the poor psalm singing in his congregation and partly because he was influenced by the vital hymn singing among Methodists and Baptists. He wrote hymns while in Hodnet and expressed a desire to compile a hymnbook with its contents appropriate to the church year. His fifty-seven hymn texts were published posthumously by his wife in Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Church Services of the Year (1827), a hymnbook that began a tradition of arranging the contents of hymn collections according to the church year.

"Mary Dagworthy Yard James USA 1810-1883. Born at Trenton, NJ, she began teaching Sunday school at age 13 in the Methodist Episcopal Church. She married Henry B James, and they had four children: Joseph, Mary, Ann, and Charles.. She became a prominent figure in the Wesleyan Holiness movement of the early 1800s, assisting Phoebe Palmer (also a hymnist) and often leading meetings at Ocean Grove, NJ, and elsewhere. She wrote articles that appeared in the “Guide to holiness”, “The New York Christian advocate”, “The contributor”, “The Christian witness:, “The Christian woman”, “The Christian standard”, and the “Ocean Grove record”. She wrote a biography of Edmund J Yard entitled, “The soul winner” (1883). She strived to live a life as close to Christ as possible. She died in New York City." (via Hymnary.org)

WONDERFUL IS MY REDEEMER'S LOVE
(Romans 5:8, Jeremiah 31:3, Psalms 40:1-2, Isaiah 9:6)
Richard D. Nelson (circa. 1950)
Vs2-3 - Craig S. Nelson (2020)
Arr. Michael J. Lining (2020)
The first verse of this song was originally written and sung by Richard (Dick) Nelson, sometime after arriving home in New Zealand, having served in Egypt and Italy in World War II. This song formed part of his personal testimony of how the Lord, helped him to overcome the depression and anxiety associated with post-traumatic stress syndrome (shell shock). His youngest son, Craig has now expanded on the theme of the song, using biblical truths in verses two and three. They further reflect the journey many of us have taken from the dark depths of despair to a place of hope, healing and redemption through the coming of the Saviour - the Counsellor and Prince of Peace. The Nelson family hopes that those who listen to these words will find for themselves, that same healing and peace.
