Let all mortal flesh keep silence ({{lang-grc-gre|Σιγησάτω πᾶσα σάρξ βροτεία}}), also known as Let all mortal flesh keep silent, is an ancient chant of Eucharistic devotion based on words from Habakkuk 2:20, "Let all the earth keep silence before him" ({{Lang-he| הַ֥ס מִפָּנָ֖יו כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ}} has mippanaw kol ha-erets). The original was composed in Greek as a Cherubic Hymn for the Offertory of the Divine Liturgy of St James;[1] it probably antedates the rest of the liturgy and goes back at least to AD 275, with local churches adopting arrangements in Syriac. In modern times, the Ralph Vaughan Williams arrangement of a translation from the Greek by Gerard Moultrie to the tune of "Picardy", a French medieval folk melody, popularized the hymn among other Christian congregations. The Moultrie translation is written in 87.87 Trochaic meter. Therefore, winged in the first line of the fourth stanza is intended to be read or sung as a single syllable. However, the two-syllable variant wingèd has become commonly accepted, especially outside of the United Kingdom, because the melody otherwise requires a potentially awkward melisma of the first syllable of winged. Usage in the Byzantine Liturgy and in other Eastern traditionsBorrowed from the old Divine Liturgy of St. James, the ancient hymn Let all mortal flesh keep silent replaces the Cherubikon in the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great in the Eucharist celebrated in the morning of Holy Saturday. The Byzantine Rite only makes use of the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil ten times a year, and during most of the liturgical year the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is used instead. However, even in the dates when the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil is used, the normal Cherubikon is usually sung. It is however replaced by the anthem Let all mortal flesh keep silent specifically on Holy Saturday. However, Churches that use the Divine Liturgy of St. James as their principal Liturgy or as a Liturgy in frequent use, such as the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Syriac Catholic Church, the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church and the Maronite Church sing the hymn Let all mortal flesh keep silent regularly, whenever the Divine Liturgy of St. James is used, since the anthem Let all mortal flesh keep silent is the standard Cherubic Hymn of that Liturgy. Usage in the Western Orthodox traditionWhen the Russian Orthodox priest Eugraph Kovalevsky (later Saint John of Saint-Denis) set about reconstructing a form of the Gallican Rite mass for use by the Western Orthodox Christians of France in the middle of the 20th century, the manuscripts to which he had access did not provide any clue to the text of the Sonus and Laudes, which were the two chants anciently sung during the offertory procession of the bread and wine to the altar. The ancient hymn Let all mortal flesh keep silent was deemed to be a fitting substitute, both because of its ancient precedent in an identical position in the Divine Liturgy of St. James and also because its theme was in keeping with the repeated emphasis on silence in the Gallican liturgical tradition. Today, this hymn continues to be used as a standard part of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Divine_Liturgy_according_to_St._Germanus_of_Paris Divine Liturgy of St Germanus] in various Orthodox churches, only being replaced by other hymns during certain feasts and seasons.
