THE SILENCE AND THE SOUND - SATB
(MUSIC FOR "LET ALL MORTAL FLESH KEEP SILENCE" BEGINS)
NARRATOR 1:
The time had come. The time when eternity would be altered forever.
This was the moment when condemnation would meet redemption.
When the free reign of darkness would meet the Light of the World.
The time was now. And as the curtains rolled back from a divinely-set
stage, all of creation rose and stood in silence.
(Measure 18)
Let all the world rise and stand in silence.
(Measure 32)
Then the armies of heaven fell into place, lining the pathway for their Prince.
(Measure 48)
As the Prince of Heaven stepped down from His throne, the angelic beings
shielded their eyes, so as not to even gaze upon His holiness.
