Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

T. Alan Dekker

Here is a lesser known, very early, Christian hymn based on the Greek text “Prayer of the Cherubic Hymn” in the Liturgy of St. James. It seems to have been created by Cyril of Jerusalem c. 347. I recorded this version many years ago using a Tascam Porta-One cassette multitrack. It starts out slow but …wait for it …
